  1. Back in my wage-slave days at a loan company, I remember a couple names that have stuck in my brain all these years…Rotunda, and Velveeta. I am not joking either. Those were their first names too. I do not recall their last names, fortunately.

  5. Worked with Chili Berger (real name) and a Benjamin Dover once. Then there was a sales guy years ago from an aerospace parts place. The guy's name was (no kidding) Richard Head. He obviously, went by “Richard”. If you asked for “Dick Head” the secretary would usually say “which department, we have several”.
