I swear I am not making this up.  The other night, on the local news, there was a short interview with an oncologist named Dr. Richard Polkinghorn.  And here I'd always thought "Richard Shorkinghorn" was a completely invented and ridiculous name, but it turns out he has a real-life counterpart not five miles from here.  However, the resemblance ends there.  The real Dr. Polkinghorn is white-haired and distinguished, with no whiff of chickens about him.  I doubt he's ever told a fart joke in his life, but he looks like he'd be good at charades.

David's had some interesting character names.  I like Eddie Harnovey and Murray Whelan; they sound like they could actually be names belonging to real people in the phone book.  It's a nice change from hastily chosen action hero names like "Jack Dexter", that are meant to clonk you over the head with their manliness.  Mark Waldman sounds like your accountant, or your neighbor.

The all-time winner, though, has to be "Bank Teller With A History".
