		<description>My last name is Pyles (piles) which was a slang term for hemorrhoids at one time...my great-grandfathers name was Seymour, and his sister was Minnie (Seymour Pyles and Minnie Pyles).  Minnie was at least smart enough to go by her middle name Carol</description>

		<description>I once took a Calligraphy class, and the teacher wrote the lists for Weddings. One time, there was a guy named &quot;Friez&quot; (pronounced freeze) and a person named &quot;Bergurs&quot; or something. So he&#039;s like, &quot;The Fries should go next to the Burgers!!&quot;</description>

		<description>These were all soooooo hilarious, but have to tell you I live in the town where Earl E May began his seed and nursery company.
   The funniest name I can come up with is a headline seen on Jay Leno and the Tonight Show. It was a wedding announcement for a Mr. Rhea and a Miss Diar. The headline read: DIAR-RHEA TO WED.</description>

		<description>A colleague named Herb purchased a new computer back in the 70&#039;s from a company named Wang. Of course it was the most powerful of the line.  Herb bought himself a Big new Wang. LOL.  Everyone had to see Herb&#039;s new Wang.  The machine malfunctioned.  The company dispatched a repairman, Thic Fong Dong to heal Herb&#039;s broken Wang.  Much amusement in the halls.</description>

		<description>There was a Rose Queen in Tyler Tx. in the 70&#039;s named Holly Hedges. Also in Tyler, there were sisters named Amber and Chrystal Bowls.

But the worst Punny name I know is the name of one of my daughters school-mates: Chase Cox! His parents were truly mean!</description>
