Posted: 07.30.2003 Paging Dr. Whang. Dr. Dick Whang.
Talk about the perfect name for your profession... There is a specialist in the Tampa Bay area that we saw on the news this afternoon. His name? Dr. Cockburn. His specialty? Urology and vasectomies. I kid you not. You just can't make this stuff up.
Oh my goodness. He must have a great sense of humor to have not changed his name by now. ¤ ¤ credit: michele | 07.30.03 at 07:25 PM | link--this ¤ ¤the REAL question is: How does he pronounce his name? Co-burn or Cock-burn? ¤ ¤ credit: sledge | 07.30.03 at 07:26 PM | link--this ¤ ¤The newscaster pronounced it Cock-burn. And the dude looked just like Richard Pryor! I'm not sure if that's significant information or not... ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 07.30.03 at 07:29 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Cock-burn, eh? Oh dear... that's just wrong. ¤ ¤ credit: sledge | 07.30.03 at 07:40 PM | link--this ¤ ¤His middle initial is G. Please, oh please let it stand for Got. ¤ ¤ credit: Annessa | 07.30.03 at 07:43 PM | link--this ¤ ¤That's hilarious!! In our town, we have a Dr. Waguespack (Pronounced "whack-his-pack"), who specializes in vasectomies. My friend's ex-husband had his "pack whacked" by him a few years ago. :D I wonder if someone's made a directory of funny last names for urologists. There's gotta be more out there! ¤ ¤ credit: Eden | 07.30.03 at 07:50 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Hehehe. ¤ ¤ credit: Kymberlie R.
