One has to ask: would he hit that?

My dentist has nine fingers. I’ve yet to bring myself to ask if it was a work-related injury.

It was before that phrase was in common parlance, and he was older and married and she was younger and married and didn’t seem his type. Buuuuuuuuut, I dunno. I was in 7th grade. I didn’t know diddly squat back then.
Also here in Austin there’s an optometrist working for the wrong warehouse club. Dr. Kirkland at Sam’s Club.

Ann Arbor, MI, had a urologist named Dr. Dick Tapper.
And a long time ago, the Indianapolis Star reported on a mortuary owned by two families, the Eddy family and the Eikenberry family.
Yup: The Eikenberry-Eddy Funeral Home.

Yesterday, I drove by “Bonin Cemetery.” That is the perfect place to put a bone.

Are there any women’s names that are also the same as a synonym or euphemism for their business? Seems a shame if there aren’t.
I knew someone named Cooper, but she wasn’t in the business of making barrels, alas.

A neurologist at the hospital I used to work at: Dr. Nervi. An audiologist, Dr. Musiek. There was also an audiology tech named Audra. I used to call her Audraology but she didn’t like it. It didn’t get me very far.

But alas, Audraology was not bananaphilic. That one got away. My skills got more, shall we say, slippery after that.

Peak amusing-urologist-names occurred in the late 90s, when pioneering surgeon, Dr. Long, taught Toronto’s Dr. Stubbs the art of penis enlargement. This is true.
