Not having a go, but calling Captain Tentative? If that is the best old Danny could come up with, he needs more listeners!

Here's one for you:
Mr Tiny KOX

I heard it on Radio 4 one evening, and couldn't believe waht they had said, but google was my friend. Did post it a while ago in another thread, but always worth another outing!

Walking out of work today, I saw a Jenny Taylor on one of the doors I walk past every day, twice a day. Brilliant

I worked with a guy who's surname was (well, probably still is) Treblecock. He pronounced it "Tre-Bill-Coh", but we all knew.......

The trouble with other names like that is that it is very easy to substitute part of the name with a synonym.

A student with the surname Badcock once worked in our lab. There was a certain amount or pee-taking, but I swore not to take part ... but then I quite innocently called him Baddick to his face.

But Jenny Taylor doesn't really work.

She would need to be Jenny Taylia or similar - To sound like genitalia

If you can find a "Talyia", I'll ask her to consider deed poll changes...

Hmmm - misses the whole point of having a naturally funny or strange name - which Jenny Taylor isn't.

Anyway - Didn't mean to rain on your parade but let's move on

Ah, yes, my mistake on "Jenny Taylor". Forgive me for my indiscretion there :-)

Isn't that whole thing a spoof though?
Surely "It is comprised of the following modules" confirm that it is? - either that or it's run by illiterates.
