    There was a great scene in Arrested Development where Tobias complains that he got arrested for the business cards he had printed for his new Analyst/Therapist business.

    My current dentist is called Coxshot, the surgery phone number ends in 6969 and the other dentist working in the surgery was a Miss Freelove. Like something from Carry on Dentist - I kept expecting Sid James to turn up in the waiting room and make a smutty comment...

    Re: Business cards with unfortunate names

    Had a direct seller pitch up at my front door a while back

    he was looking for a Mr Richard Slicker

    I told him there was no R Slicker living at this address


    turns out a mate of mine had put some guff details in the system where he worked for a laugh to see what would happen

    he didn't realise some Berk would pitch up at my front door
