A young man called me to apply for a credit card and told me his last name was Fryingpan. Fryingpan? Are you kidding me? I initially thought he was putting me on. He passed security identification questions, though. Out of curiosity, I did a search of that last name on Facebook. Sure enough, there are a whole bunch of Fryingpans living in Alberta, Canada.
That by far isn't the only unusual last name that I've come across, Little Moustache, Weasel Fat, Big Ornery Horse, as well as a few that can't be printed in this kind of article without risking offending someone. How do people end up with these names? It was a challenge to keep a straight face while serving some of these customers.
I have decided that Mr. Fryingpan and Ms. Weasel Fat could possibly end up in an interesting relationship.
