There's a "Hell" in Norway

There's one in the Cayman Islands too. Not only do I literally have the T-shirt but, as there are postal facilities, I sent myself a postcard from Hell.

I work for a large multinational company. In my work, I have come across two Mr. Wang's whose name I found hilarious. One is a fellow in China who's name is Huge Wang (no joke) and the other is a fellow at our sister company in New Jersey named Harry Wang.

I'm sure the ladies like Huge.

There was a gentleman at the last place I worked called Kok Long. He called himself KL.

As per the e-mail directory, in my current company there's a Long Chong who I may meet one day.

You'd be right there ;)

I heard about a woman (whose breasts were enormous) with the name Toplis

I'm sure the gentlemen like Toplis with the big boobies ;)

I've got three for you and they all belong to them same family: namely mine unfortunately. I was named Lord James, my brother Duke Damien, and my sister Lady Janine. I'm convinced my parents did it for a joke.

I have a relative who is doing genealogical research into our family history, and he has turned up some really strange stuff. It seems that I am distantly related to someone named Sucky Bird Cozens, who had a sister named Grief, and they lived in the town of Smoky Ordinary, Virginia. It sounds like Southern Gothic fiction--but I did not make that up!

Oh Lord! ;)

Seriously those names are pretty cool actually. It might be useful one day to say you're Lord James.

I knew a girl from India called "Pretty", although the spelling might not be like that (that's how she said it). It's lucky she wasn't as ugly as Hell*

* no worries, I'm not swearing but referring to a town mentioned in this thread ;)
