I did actually know a guy named Michael Hunt. It took me years to figure out that one. Never even dawned on my until years later when I my wife pointed it out - always called him Michael instead of Mike. At least his parents weren't that cruel, he was adopted into the last name from a second marriage.

It's a favourite of all site workers for when the big bosses come around for a photo op. One in the group will always label his hardhat with "Mike Hunt." Hubby says they all snicker when some suit leans in and shakes a hand, gushing, "Mike, how ya goin'?"

He says other ones include Justin Time, Miles Long, Harry Nutts...

Was at a naturist club sports event, and we gave the female on the microphone a piece of paper asked her if she would ask in anyone had seen Mike Hunt. She was somewhat embarrassed with the chorus of YES came back and she realised what she had said, no-one thought she would make the announcement and would have realised what it would have sounded like..:rofl:
