I had a teacher named Harry Deal in junior high.

I went to school with a guy named Dick Hohl (pronounced Hole). He was a running back on our football team. Every game the announcer made sure that after he had a rushing attempt he would say "Dick Hohl, ball carrier."

And all the girls from the all girls Catholic school would giggle.

Cool - he didn't even need a nickname.

I immediately thought the same thing. "You get back in there little mouth."

Years ago I took a picture at a zoo but didn't notice what I had taken a picture of, when we picked up the pictures (this was before cellphones) we noticed we had taken a picture of a giraffe and another giraffe was standing behind the first one, it came out looking like a two headed giraffe, a neck and head on both ends. LOL. It was very hard to tell the difference.

Ft Wayne had a mayor named Harry Baals:


Fort Wayne newscaster Bob Chase, of WOWO-AM, relates a story that he once pronounced the mayor's name "Bales." Mayor Baals personally called him following the broadcast to correct his pronunciation, saying, "son, this is your Mayor. I pronounce my name 'Balls'."[7]

Legacy[edit]​

The new Harry Baals Dr. street sign
Harry Baals Drive was named in honor of the late mayor, extending east from Parnell Avenue, north and west of the St. Joseph River in Johnny Appleseed Park. In recent years, the double entendre arising from Baals's name has led Fort Wayne officials to shy away from naming streets and buildings after him. The aforementioned street has been renamed to "H. W. Baals Drive" as the old street sign was constantly being stolen.[citation needed]

One of my best memories was being able to reply over the air to the request...
"Rescue 1, what is your location?"
"Responding from the intersection of Harry Baals (Balls) and Parnell"

Yes ! I drive past it on the way to work and for fun I send the park address to family and tell them to meet me there..
Siri: you have arrived at your destination on Harry baals (balls) drive
