Before I retired I was a Plant Engineering Manager.I had a contractor mowing a vacant field that the Company owned and there was a fire hydrant to mow around,well he bumped it and broke it off at the main and it shut water down to the Facility that had 300 + employees working there! Well It became my job really fast to get water flowing again.I contacted the City Of Houston Water Works and talked to a guy.He told me I needed to talk to a JOE BLOW! I got a little excited because I thought he was playing games and I had no time for any games right then! he assured me I needed to contact JOE BLOW and gave me his extension #.I called it and was very reluctant to ask for JOE BLOW but when the lady answered the phone I asked to speak to MR BLOW! She asked me if I would like to hold because Joe was on another line and would be finished in a minute.I told her yes I would like to hold and damn near fell out of my chair! Well a few minutes later a voice said this is MR BLOW! I explained my situation and within 1 hour repairs were under way and complted within 2 hours and water was flowing again.I would have never guessed that there was actually a person named JOE BLOW! But rest assured he was a Manager at the City of Houston Water Works Division and may even still be there! And I swear this is 100% true!I had about ten Management people in my ofice applying pressure on me to get the problem fixed and when they heard the conversation they could not believe it.But when it was all over it was regularly talked about for weeks that there was actually a REAL LIFE JOE BLOW!

Texas Governor James Stephen Hogg had a daughter in 1882 and named her Ima. That's right Ima Hogg. She became a very well known philanthropist and patron of the arts here in Houston. She was still alive when I was in high school and we used to sneak into her compound/estate near downtown on a dare. Kids.....

ok these are all great, but seeing how this has gone on this long I will have to share this one, we went to high school with this poor kid with the last name of Dickwacker no bs, poor guy took allot of crap, ya'know how kids can be ruthless, he snapped a couple times at keggers though, poor sob, always wondered where he went.

I can still hear people yelling out "Hey Dickwacker!"

-----OK, OK,,,,I went to school and am still good friends with a guy named Ron Mycock. I moved away and after marrying my wife Jan I would tell her about Ron (he was a great hockey player) and his brother "Pat". There was a brother but that wasnt his name. Finally after years of her asking me how any parent could name their kid Pat Mycock I fessed up on the way to Rons office where they met for the first time. She wasnt amused. Dont know why as it always struck me as hilarious!!!!........Bill S

Just this week a co-worker showed me a customer name he had on the go, Mike Huntley...what was that 70's movie w/ a similar name being joked about?.

I had a customer years ago named Richard Knobbs...great guy and always asked me to please call him Dick..

Also I remember reading a few years ago about a dealership somewhere in the States called Dick Head Motors.. Hey Marlin, you got any emblems from there?.
