1. I once knew a psychologist named Dr. Quirk
but then, what else was he going to do for a career with a name like that.

6. I had a rental house and I rented it to Sargent Pepper!
When he called me about the house, I thought he was doing it as a joke. But his last name was truly Pepper and he was a sargent!

The best renter I ever had... reminded me of Catch-22's Major Major.
