"Ok, we're gonna have to do something about this, polish it up a bit, so potential customers don't snicker... what's your full first name, honey?"
"Gaylorda."

I knew someone with this surname and she hated answering the phone.

I knew a guy with the surname Gay. Needless to say, he didn't enjoy it. This was also the noughties. I'm sure it's a little less bad now.

I too am gay, horny, and hate answering the phone.

That’s perfect because according to this pop up ad there are sexy singles in your area! You just need to click a link and send me your credit card number.

I run a credit card testing website that checks if a credit card number is valid. So please send your CC number, name, expiry and CVC, and I'll let you know if it's valid!

Same for this guy.

His bumper stickers were a hot commodity at political events.

Had a teacher in Middle school named Richard Sharp.

Also went by Dick.

"Are you sure you don't want to go by 'Rich' or 'Richie' instead?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

In high school my friend's lawyer dad once had a client named Harry Organ. Sounds like a match made in heaven!

I'm not so sure she is a real estate agent

Pretty sure the fine lady is married.

Love is blind and sometimes you don't think things through.

DMV: Mama, I'm having a hard time believing that is your real or current name. You're gonna need to change the entered name on...

Gay Horney: But it is. Here... This is my birth certificate. (Hands DMV employee paper)
