We were finishing a fairly simple boundary survey yesterday to split two adjoining city lots such that a father would own the west part of the west lot and the east part of the east lot while deeding the east part of the west lot and the west part of the east lot to his daughter. No big deal.
It was very convenient to have a setup on the adjoiner to the north of both lots and to park on a gravel drive located there. Again, no big deal. The only building on the adjoiner's tract is a large metal building where he works on a couple of semi-trucks that he owns. It turned out he was in the shop so he wandered out to chat with the rodman. Eventually, he asked the rodman (or so he heard it), "Are you working for Dick Head over there?" The rodman replied, "I met him last week when we were here, but I'm fairly certain that isn't the name he used when he introduced himself."
The adjoiner has a cute little sign on the front of his shop building labeling it as: A$$hole's Garage. The rodman had noticed that as he drove in. He desperately wanted to ask the adjoiner if he was Mr. A$$hole, but, fortunately, he decided to keep that question to himself.

Somewhere in this world of men named Richard and families with the surname Head there must be a few Dick Head's out there.
I think it's a fairly common; I use to have a neighbor by that name. At least that's what his wife called him all the time.
Hell, everybody that grew up in the '60's & '70's has been called a "dick-head" at least once. :p
(this may be strike three for me)
No lie.
Somewhere in NW Arkansas, there is a big sign: Red Butt's Garage.
I'm sure folks who live up there, could attest to it.
Uh, oh. I have been a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad boy. In the post above I did not use asterisks when entering the name of the neighbor's garage. Let's just say his label might be used by crude people (like him and me) to describe the exit portal of the colon.

Did a Google search and the best I could find was taylorplasticsurgery.com in Fayetteville. Perhaps Dr. Taylor goes by "Red". You can find them listed under butt augmentation in Arkansas. Perhaps I should call for an estimate. Mine's been chewed so often there isn't much left.

Since you are always pointing out my grammar deficiencies, I believe that it's properly called the "anal sphincter". 😎
And then there was Sweet Old Bob, but most people just called him by his initials.
I used to work with a guy who went by Otto. I asked him if it was short for anything and he said no but he decided a long time ago that his first middle and last names were all useless so he picked Otto. I haven't talked to Richard Edward Johnson in over 10 years.
True story: I had a college Computer Science professor named Richard Weiner. Those who knew him better than I, knew him as "Dick." That's an interesting name for his parents to choose, IMHO.

Because you doesn't has to call him Johnson!

That's funny, I was just going to post that my former neighbor, a physics professor at the local university, was named Richard Weiner. Even funnier, when they first moved in his wife introduced herself a Terri Brown. She pointed out that the do not hyphenate.
Years ago I did some work on several Air Force Bases around the US. Who the ???? came up with the name Seymour Johnson AFB and shouldn't it be a Navy base?

You can call him Ray or you can call him Jay.............

I did a job for an asian fellow about 8 years ago in a nearby town named Peter Wang.
It was not far from a lot of land previously owned by a Mr. Harry Dickie.
I have a few others I cant remember right now.
As a kid I was called heaps of names but never Dick.
Being a red head names were never in short supply.
When I started work the nickname became official, even making it to my government business card.
First boss was Rex. He was 5 foot nothing, I was 6 foot plus.
I soon became known as Rex's big long red D....
That stuck too.
Never worried me
Nowadays anyone that asks for Dick, is obviously an old government employee from way back.
