Have you seen any other job titles that caught your eye as being highly appropriate or inappropriate for the persons name?

This one caught my eye

We did have a Doctor Legge; between the name and the Eastenders character he had a tough time :lol:

Somewhat related... years ago anyway there was a restaurant here called 'BJ's'. Their sign said, 'For the taste of it!' :oops:

My mum and dad's GPs are called Doctor Hardblaster and Doctor Payne. :shock:
Always brings a smile to my face when they mention who they've seen at the practice.

We had a Dr. Pain but he's retired now. He was very into acupuncture.
A friend's dentist was Mr Sharp.

I once was seen by a Dr. Valentine, who must have just qualified. She was lovely. Blonde. Chesty. Very attractive.
Anyway, I was there about my sciatica which had flared up, so she got me strip to the waist.
Standing there, bare chested, and she said "Yes, I can see you're as stiff as a board."
Made me chuckle.
