<p>A reader can top <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/07/25/you-think-weiner-is-bad/">Bill Boner</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>One can&#8217;t discuss unfortunate politician names without mentioning Ft. Wayne&#8217;s former mayor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Baals">Harry Baals</a> &#8211; and the shameful cowardice of not naming a building after him.</p></blockquote>
<p>Seen above. See if you can avoid snickering. Another reader:</p>
<blockquote><p>When I was in the infantry I had a platoon sergeant named Boner. Sergeant First Class Boner.</p>
<p>Army life involves plenty of roll calls, standing idly in formation waiting for your name to be called so you can sound off with &#8220;present&#8221; or &#8220;here&#8221; or &#8220;hooah&#8221; or something along those lines. And so people conducting a roll call would regularly try to throw our sergeant a bone, hesitating briefly before pronouncing his name as &#8220;Bonner&#8221; or &#8220;Boehner&#8221; or even &#8220;Boneer.&#8221; But this guy owned it, every single time, cheerily correcting them with &#8220;It&#8217;s pronounced Boner.&#8221; Sometimes he would mischievously add &#8220;Boner, as in&#8221; and then trail off.</p>
<p>Truly an NCO you could follow into hell.</p></blockquote>
