I've been trying not to get sucked into this thread, but okay, here goes: (and yes, this one is absolutely for real:)   I had a math/science teacher in junior high whose name was Jack Hoff.   And who, rather than go by John or some other cowardly escape, PROUDLY was "Jack Hoff."     Few things as embarrassing to a 13-year-old kid than when your teacher (who was a VERY good teacher, BTW)  introduces himself to your father as "Jack Hoff" then does a five-minute riff on the implications of his name.   Down memory lane, I remain,   Les Marsden   (and yeah, that's short for LESLIE; wanna make something of it?) Founding Music Director and Conductor, The Mariposa Symphony Orchestra Music and Mariposa?  Ahhhhh, Paradise!!!   http://arts-mariposa.org/symphony.html http://www.sierratel.com/mcf/nprc/mso.htm http://www.geocities.com/~jbenz/lesbio.html   ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Parsons To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2006 10:55 AM Subject: [Finale] Re: OT - names of kids My high school chemistry teacher was Mr. Dull. He really wasn't, though. Along with teaching good chemistry, he dispensed gems like "Diarrhea of the mouth is causally related to constipation of the brain." He loved the vibrant red color that lithium gives off in a flame test, so he was known as "Lithium Lloyd". His brother was a pastor in - get this - Boring, Oregon. The church's answering machine message began as follows -  "Hello, this is Pastor Dull of the Boring church...."
