I just talked to a customer who's last name was Colon.

Of course he didn't say it was Colon, he said it was C-O-L-O-N...but it was Colon.

The Giants used to have a pitching coach named Dick Pole.
I wonder if he named his son Rod.

It's not MacDonalds, but it is the MacDonalds of the IT industry...so close enough.

You might be making fun of a descendant of Christopher Columbus... Cristobal Colon (stress in the second "o")

BTW... A little recent history trivia. A direct descendant of the discoverer, named also Cristobal Colon was killed by ETA in 1986. He was vice-admiral of the Spanish Navy.

The MD of our Trust Company is named "Colin"...I call him Colon.

Used to play tennis with a guy named Peter Head.
