You Don't Know Dick!: an Onomastic Reference Compendium Lawrence Rogak

Have you ever laughed at a name like Dick Long? Or Dick Little? Sure you have. You're just ashamed to admit it. Well, this book is the fruit of extensive research through the public phone directories, unlisted number databases, and public records of all 50 States for the funniest "Dick" names. These are all real names, of real people, and yet some of them are so outrageous that it is hard to believe that they could belong to real people. Yet they do. Names like Dick LaCock. And Dick Horny. Dick Police. And Dick Soup. But Larry Rogak has done more than just find all these funny names for your immature giggle-fits. He has also provided snappy commentary on them. But YOU DON'T KNOW DICK isn't all puerile entertainment. It also has educational value, like an essay on the true history of the nickname "Dick". And a recap of the scandal that brought Dick Nixon's presidency to an end. After you finish reading-and laughing-over the hundreds of shocking real names in this book, you will have to agree that YOU DON'T KNOW DICK.
