punchy.

I'm sorry but, with a name like that...

How does anyone stifle a loud burst of laughter when he's like picking up an Rx, or at the dry cleaning window, or picking up take-out, etc.?

"Uh, Pecker? Your order of Fried Calamari is ready."

"What's the last name please?"
"Pecker."
"Here's the ointment prescribed by your dermatologist."

"Your shirts will be ready by Tuesday. Name please?"
"Pecker."

Coach: "Pecker!! I said, HARD pass!!"

From time to time I get asked -usually by teenage girls/ very young women - if that is spelled c-o-c-k-s. When I tell them the correct spelling, they are too embarrasssed to say anything else.

I don't think it's anywhere remotely near this guy's with the P last name.

Your last name by marriage never dawned on me any untoward meaning.

Time is up for David Pecker and AMI....Say goodbye to the trash rag...National Inquirer because inquiring minds want to know when there will be prison sentences handed out.

Looks like Jeff Bezos scored one here.

in front of it because it's offensive and people complained.

And now the NI's newly vulnerable. It's not ignored but widely discussed in the news as the intensely dishonest and hurtful, even criminal, publication it is. Enough that many vendors are undoubtedly at least once again discussing whether respectable stores should continue to display and sell it.

Especially at cash registers. A lot would be gained just by moving it away from where everyone stands and sees it to magazine aisles. And that would probably mostly finish NI off also, which they'd know.
