Did anyone notice in the last episode, when Ralph called Paulie's mother on the phone, he introduced himself to her as "Detective Mike Hunt"? If you don't get it, say it three times fast.

I work in the limousine business, and it's kind of traditional that when a new dispatcher is being broken in, you have him read a message to a driver over the two-way radio that goes something like "Car 100, call Mike Hunt" or "Call Ben Dover". The new dispatchers are always nervous, and they fall for it every time.

yeah I caught that

Good catch. What about when Ralphie introduced himself to the Native American activist as "Henry [read: Enrico] Caruso"?

Che bella cosa una giornata di sole...

look what it got the bald headed wise ass...Dead, morta, chopped to pieces...now that is

This tread now has more smileys and less posts...

Well, I hate to admit this, but...
I went through the New York City public school system. On the first day of every class, the teacher handed out "Delaney cards," which were cards the size of Social Security cards that had a space for you to write your name, and below, a small calendar for the rest of the term. The teacher would then insert each card in a book that had slots for the cards, so she could tell the names of kids by where they sat, and mark absences on the calendars. Of course, kids filled in funny names. One favorite was "Dick Hertz." So the teacher would call the roll. She'd get to "Dick Hertz" and say, "Hertz." (nobody answered) "Hertz...Who's Dick Hertz?" At that, all the boys would yell, in unison, "Mine does, Teach!" Another was the famous Mike Hunt. So the teacher would call, "Hunt." (no answer) "Hunt...where's Mike Hunt?" At that, all the boys would stand and point their fingers at the teacher's crotch, saying, "there it is, Teach, there it is."

You learn a lot of these by watching The Simpsons. Other classics are Seymour Butts and Amanda Huginkiss.

seymor butts lol , i had a freind order CDs under that name , and he got them, along with all of metallicas members names, funny stuff

My brother in law called up his aunt who owns a florist and ordered a bouquet to be delivered to Mr. Jass....Hugh Jass. One of my co-workers called into the secretary (who was not too bright) and asked if Mr. Mihoff had called. The secretary asked us, in a loud voice across the office if Mr. Mihoff called. Someone responded with, "which Mihoff? is it Jack?" Ralph had me rollin' with the Michael Hunt reference.

In Junior High (what is middle school, anyway?) we had the great fortune to have a boy's dean who courageously kept his family name... Mr. Dick . Well, the school had graffiti all over with sayings like "Mr. Dick's wife's name is Aida" etc.

The man wound up changing his name to Mr. Dyke for pete's sake!!! I kid you not.
(Not to mention another teacher named Mrs Lipschitz, but that's another story. But true. )
