    Bud Weiser Cadillac Chevrolet of Beloit, Wisconsin.

    Then again, if you're a male with the surname Weiser I think the odds are pretty good that you'll be called Bud at some point in your life!

      Had a school mate a long time ago named Israel Beaver, who, ironically had a gross overbite. I wonder how his nickname became Bucky Beaver (of IPANA Fame)?

        I know of a person outside of Jamestown named Frank Bunn... he must be a real wiener!

Dr Franks was kind of a weenie, and Dr. Oates a bit on the mushy side. Dr. Rice often went against the grain, Dr. Plum however was always good for a juicy tale.
          (and yup...we actually had all those names on staff)

            My ex-husband's name was Rock Lee (his brothers were Rick and Rory, the dog was Ruff.......I should've known I was headed for trouble) but when you called him in the banquet kitchen.....it sounded like BROCCOLI! "Let me talk to Rock Lee." "No, we don't have any broccoli." "I don't want broccoli, I want to talk to Rock Lee." "We don't HAVE any broccoli!" Click. Just as well. I really didn't want to talk to him anyway.

              For years in LA, both on TV and radio, there was a restaurant reviewer named Elmer Dills.

              I used to know a fellow fireman named Frank Aglio, aglio meaning garlic in Eyetye.

              Movie producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli.

                I didn't know this lady that well, but she used to work with a friend of mine. I used to see her when I'd go pick up my frend Christal for lunch. Her name was Ann Lynn Bigg, then she got married to Leo Berger. Now her full name is Ann Lynn Bigg Berger

                    No, not really: brings back fond (if hazy) memories of munchy moments in the 60s.

                      I think the family of the Bigg/Bergers should get together with the Bunns.... it would be quite the Bigg Berger Bunn shindig!
