Weird signatures

[edible_hat]

Today I had a customer whose signature on the credit card receipt looked like it said "Mrs Boobs". And it was a guy. I forget the actual name on the card, but after looking at it I could see how you could get it from the signature.

That being said, I have seen the name Mahboob several times in my job. (And yes, it does make me have to stifle a giggle, infantile as it is, but that's the truth.) Perhaps the man was named Mahboob?

Noh, it was a Greek name... M. Slabobo or something like that.

We have one customer named Hardik, which is a perfectly sensible name in India.

*Beginning of tangent / threadjack about strange / humourous names people have encountered*

Three years ago I had a customer named Peter Peter. When he said his name, I had to keep myself from blurting out "Pumpkineater?"

There was a Jack Spratt. I desperately wanted to ask if he could eat no fat or if his wife could eat no lean, but I remained tactful.

I had a customer with the last name of Boomhauer. Fortunately he did not speak like Hank Hill's friend.

Once I had a customer who was called, I kid you not, Tom Riddle. I still live in hope of encountering a Harry Potter one day. XD

one o my old co-workers told me bout a tech rep he worked with once named... (and i'm not kidding)... Dick Dangler.

it caused quite a stir when they paged him on the loudspeaker. one of the bosses tried to scream at the guy who'd said the page, thinking he'd been just f*ing around with the system... until Dick showed up and said, "Do you have a problem with my name?"

What about Hugh Jass?

Best last name I've found so far (and by the way, I think it's an awesome name, so know that I'm not trying to make fun of you)...

Hi there; Finally decided to de-lurk to reply to this.

My dad used to work for the Royal Bank of Canada back in the 70's and 80's (He was a computer programmer; Classic stuff like FORTRAN2, COBOL, and such). Anyhow, at the time, the president of the Bank, or that provincial division, was (I am not making this up)

Harry Balls.

His favourite line, when asked about his name was "Keep a Straight face, or you're fired."

What about Hugh Jass?

Better yet, Hugh Janus. Mr Janus is a very powerful man, you see...

About 12 years ago, I met a Peter Peter....and the guy's name that introduced us? Peter, of course!

"Mario and Luigi"

"Last names?"

"Mario"
"And he's Luigi?"
"No, he's Mario too."
"What?"
"Mario Mario and Luigi Mario"
"So there's 3 Marios between the two of you?"

I don't get this one?

*edit* Okay, googled it.. Never read Harry Potter.

My last name is Riddle, and have several family members named Tom.

I was thinking to myself "What the heck could be so funny about Tom Riddle?"

Got it now..

.. Now back to your regularly scheduled topic
