Subject: Monkey Wards and lots more



The following contribution comes from my colleague Dick Demers:



Monkey Wards was the name my Dad used, and I can remember back to the

early fifties for that one. He also had humorous names for all sorts of

establishments in Portland, Oregon. Meier and Franks was Murphy and Finnegans.

The internal revenue was infernal revenue, of course. Hubert Humphery was

Preparation H. I've heard the following names for newscasters: Stoned

Phillips, Tom Lockjaw, Dan Blather..and so on. I have heard twisted names

for some Tucson places. Fed-Mart (when it existed) was Fed-Fart. Foley's

is Folly's. I'll bet there are some real funny ones out there. Dick D
