She would go around the country looking for people with funny names like Robin Hood, Santa Claus, Jack Frost, Peter Rabbit, Yabadaba Doo, etc. Someone (I don't rememeber the author) also came out with a book a few years ago that listed the funny names of people all over the world that he ran across. One that sticks in my mind was a Roman Catholic cardinal named Cardinal Sin. I guess its funny if you're a Catholic. Does anyone know more about this? I'd like to buy the book or even see more of the "funny names" posted in net.jokes if this is the proper place. Oh yeah...a joke...I heard this on T.V. the other night (I don't remember who said it or I would give the proper credit). Women should substitute the word girl for boy, women for men, and guy for girl. Q: Did you hear about the new Playboy magazine for married men only? A: It shows the same girl every month.
