Foot fault

The offspring of those in the entertainment world are well versed with the notion of nonsensical names, with many of them stuck with what can only be described as mind-boggling monikers.

Family names are another matter altogether though. Yet despite its unusual nature (in Japan at least), Mr and Mrs Foot could never have dreamed of the problems such a name would present their son.

Although admittedly it was his choice to become a dentist.

    I know a worse one.

    When I used to work for a Health Insurance plan we had contracted with a certain Gynecologist.

    His Name? Harry C. Beaver.

    I kid you not.

    Umm, you know that this is for a chain of foot massage/therapy places right? Not for a doctor called ‘Dr Foot’.

    (Theres one down the road from my house…)

    Yeah, I’m well aware that he is indeed not Dr Foot – and most definitely not a dentist.

    Just a desperate attempt at humour that’s all.
