competition: Names that shouldn't be together!
entry: True Story by c_tizzie

When I was a waiter, I once waited on a gentleman who paid with his credit card.
The name on the card:
Mr. Harold Woodcock.
Overlooking the typical laughs that 'Harry Woodcock' usually inspires, I went for more.
When I returned his card, I said to him:
"You know, sir - a lot of last names were created based on the profession of the person (or where they were from/who's son they were.) For instance, there are a lot of Petersons and Jeffersons. There are a lot of 'de/di _____s'. There are a lot of Millers and Ta(y)lors and Smiths, because there were a lot of millers, tailors, and smiths.
I wonder what your ancestors were known for, Mr. Woodcock?"
He laughed and tipped me quite handsomely.
