Death Charged in Theft From Cemetery
Now, if I had a last name like that, I would've become a doctor. 8-[

I WAS FRAMED.



It's a Pratchett thing....

Isn't it weird, how some people go into a business related to their surname? :P

If Death comes knocking at your door,

ask to see some form of identification....

In high school, the father of a friend of my sister's was a doctor. The family name was Butcher. Fortunately he wasn't a surgeon.

I have some ancestors named "Death." I thought it was cool until someone told me it was pronounced "Deeth". I have yet to corroborate that yet though...

There was a nurse my dad worked with in the Air Force whose last name was Major. At that time, her rank was also Major, so she was Major Major.

My brother-in-law broke his wrist and had a hand specialist by the name of Dr. Groper.

Just like "Catch-22".

I once encountered an administrator at a prep school (a Dean or a Vice-Principal or something) named Mr. DeMerit! I bet the kids were terrified of him.

When in the Security Police Academy (USAF) I had an Airman Sargeant in my Squad.

The former head of the physics department here at USAFA was Colonel Head.

I have heard that he has a brother who is also an AF colonel by the name of Richard. That means he was once a major...

When my wife worked for the insurance company, she paid dental claims. She had a dentist named Dr. Payne, and another called Dr. Toothaker. (Not sure how that was spelled!)

OK, one more. I once worked with a Navy officer named Captain Marvell. Then there was Dr. Cocagne, the dentist I went to when I was in college.

My dentist (of 30 years) in Lafayette, IN, was Dr. Challgren (pronounced shall grin). Fabulous dentist, my teeth are perfect and no braces.

We have a Captain Kirk, pilot for United. There is also a lady named C. Butz - she should have been a protologist. Now, she just analyzes flight capacity. Everytime I see her name, I think of C. Moore Butz. 8-[

If Death gets put away for 15 years, won't the world be facing a terrible overpopulation problem?

#-o

This could help with the over crowded prison system.

My dentists (a husband/wife team) have the last name of Smileys.

Death Takes A Holiday...

In my hometown we had a family called Deadman. They ran a funeral home.

And of course, they named it... Deadman's Funeral Home. Then the son took over and decided that maybe they ought to rethink the name.

(I'm not making this up.)

[edit, edit, edit, your post; until you get it right. fix-a-typo, fix-a-typo, fix-a-typo, until you get it right.]

if Death goes away, does that mean we get Death of Rats? (SQUEAK.)

and yes, according to the Dorothy L. Sayers novels, most people pronounce the name to rhyme w/teeth, though the character who has the name says it's much more entertaining if you pronounce it to rhyme w/breath.

Our high school physician was Dr. Hazard.

A friend of mine knows a Dr. Death in Scotland.

I knew of a physician named Dr. Coffin, on staff at a hospital I worked at in 1990.

Imagine that: "The physicians will be Dr. Death and Dr. Coffin. Now try to relax for your surgery..."
