Work with Robin Hood, dated Marion Christmas, have a friend who owns a car body shop who's name is Mr. Dent, went to a dentist named Dr. Payne, been to a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho King Ho, shopped at a retail/commercial shop called Foo King Restaurant Supply, heard of someone called Wa Ter Mark.

..I know none of them, but Michael Jackson is variably

i) an American entertainer with an interest in the welfare of young boys;

And thinking about it, I know a Sinead O'Connor with a full and lovely head of hair; the worst of it is, her father's called Desmond....

We have a motor cycle shop and repair centre near us called Dave Death, and there used to be a firm of solicitors in Plymouth known as Dootlittle and Dally!

In Las Vegas, Nevada, there is a Buzzard Eye Institute, whom I would prefer not to go digging about in my eyes. In Dallas, Texas, there is a recently renamed hospital, the R. E. Dedman Medical Center, now just the RED medical center. At one point, I thought about going into Veterinary Medicine, and was going to change my middle name to Oscar so I could have "Dr. D.O. Little" on the door.

"COME HERE AT THE DOUBLE, DARLING!"
