Dentist named Dr. Peter Siemen has a shingle in Old Town.
  Seriously, you can't make this up.

I guess that's better than having the shingles...

Our county sheriff is named Doc Holladay

My great uncle was a butcher with the last name of Burger. You can imagine some of the orders that came over the counter, such as "Gimme some ham Burger."

Did he still have all his fingers?

Our county sheriff is named Doc Holladay

I had to look that one up. It was too good; but it is also true. Pulaski County voters will p0robably keep him in office as long as he wants.

LOL! You doubt my veracity, DC?  White County, Arkansas had a sheriff Pat Garret up until a couple years ago.... You can't make stuff like this up! 

[DonaCatalina]

I did not doubt your veracity.  I couldn't believe my eyes. 
But Oregon still has a Sheriff Pat Garret

While we're on the subject, I would be curious to know if a person's name has any effect on what they choose their life's work to be, or if it's simply a matter of chance?

I don't know in general; according to Bud Nailer, who does business with my company, he became a carpenter because his dad was one.

Dr Chopp should have been a surgeon. Now, Peabody would make a good urologist!

While not his actual occupation, my loves last name is Bierbrauer and we are brewing beer. Now if we just got some sheep I could live up to my last name.

Dr. Stopp has been performing vasectomies in Rochester NY for over thirty years, and has done around 39,000 operations.
He's responsible for between one third and one half of the vasectomies in Rochester in any given year during his time in practice.
