I knew of a Christian Crisp at school, which is at least slightly amusing.
I knew Barry and Emma Crisp (twins)

That's not really comedy though

There was someone on the books at my old job with the last name "Raper", I shit ye not. I have no idea why they or their relatives didn't consider changing it.

My old counterpart in the Los Angeles office was a lady called Rusty Burris. I thought that sounded like a phrase for when you haven't wiped your arse properly. You know, "Oooh, I ran out of toilet paper and was late for work and now I'm on the bus with a rusty burris!" Once I'd thought that it was game over, I'm afraid. Her name just made me laugh too much whenever I saw it and that was all she was now, an immature joke to amuse a sad man-boy who lives on his own in Penge. Here she comes down Hollywood Boulevard in her Grand Cherokee, flaxen hair shimmering in the cradling warmth of dusk. There I am in London looking out of the window watching a load of Police Community Volunteers trying and failing to corral a gibbering female crack addict who looks like Mervyn Hayes. It was worse when I told everyone else in the London despatch office. They're all to a man as big a dickhead as I am. OO, I NEED TO GO TO THE JACKS TO SORT ME BURRIS OUT, IT'S RUSTY AS FUCK.

Sorry about all that, Rusty. May your god go with you, and your burris.

Laura Gammon.


Probably even less popular a surname than ever these days.

Which sounds like it should be a pun but I'll be fucked if I can work it out.
