In Australia, we had "Judge Hanger". And I must add that he was a great judge and I used to like to read all of his cases held at the Gold Coast Court. He was very sharp and his comments showed a great sense of humour.

I thought there was a Judge Dread. "Alexander Minto Hughes (2 May 1945 - 13 March 1998), better known as Judge Dread, was an English reggae and ska artist. He was the first white recording artist to have a reggae hit in Jamaica, and has the most banned songs of all time."

Though it wasn't related to his profession, I used to hire a car from a Sig. Mangiavacche!
I couldn't help thinking about Desperate Dan and his Cow pies every time I spoke to him.

for several years I lived in a road with neighbours Mr Wood the lecturer in forestry and Mr Clark the judge.
My friend used to teach a boy rejoicing in the name Orson Cart, and my wife once taught a girl called Vita della Morte. I can't say what professions they later followed.

My daughter, working as a medical receptionist, had to call a patient called Hugh Janus. She found it very difficult to keep a straight face and my father was once at a conference where one of the key speakers was Mustafa Pee.

That sounds like my cue...
I knew of a man who worked in the 'Role' department on Hercules aircraft. He used to answer the phone:
"Sgt Bacon, Role"
Wonderful!
Ben Gun was chief Constable of Cambridgeshire for many years and Tom Burn was Chief Fire Officer for Staffordshire.
I also seem to remember a P.C. Constable and the poor Tourist officer in Scotland called Ryan Ayre!!
