Do you have any names that you thought were one way, but were in fact, something much different?

One of my favorites was a Major League Manager, though just getting that start at the time. As a relatively active Sports Fan (at the time) I'd of course always heard of "Loopinella", and thought that was just an affectation assigned to him.

Well, one day, on a radio show I was on a couple times a week (Portland KFXX), I brought up Loopinella :hopeless: , because he had just been hired by Seattle to get them back on track (OK, at least find a track for them to get onto!:-) Well, you can guess the rest! 2 more hours of Loopinella tossed back at me! :biglaugh: It was fun, and we heard a bunch of really cleaver misinterpretations. :thumb:

What are some of your favorits? Sports or Business or Everyday Life?

Manta,

Loopinella? Is that his last name? Never heard of that name before. Sounds pretty funny... :)

SEE! It SOUNDS like a name!


No, his name is Lou Pinella!
