I’m sorry, but I have to ask: did he set fire to any porta-potties?

Reading the title, for a split second I thought his name was “Arson Suspect,” which would be some pretty damn strong nominative determinism…

Until I clicked through to the article I thought the same - Arson wasn’t too far from Orson so seemed quite plausible. ‘Bernie Houseman’ however is guilty as charged.

I knew an network cabling engineer named DC Current. He had a brother named AC Current who worked as an electrician.

In Devon alone I can recall about 25 years ago there being a Dr De’Ath in Dartmouth (pharmacist), Dr Blood in Bude (Doctor) (those two may have bee the other way around), and I recently walked by a Dentist practice called ‘El Nashar’ in Newton Abbot (gnashers are British slang for teeth for anyone not aware)
It was years before I realized Messier is not a great name for a dentist. But if you’re reading Doc, you’re the best.
