hipster jesus:
I would fucking love that. I lived in a city for a couple of years that had a turnpike named after some guy with the same last name as me. On more than one occasion I got into an argument at a tollbooth because I felt I shouldn't have to pay to drive on "my" turnpike.

Heh. There's a university with my last name on it. No relation, although it's not a common name in America these days.

I got a free pen once because I found an office supply store with my surname.  I talked with the owner and there was no apparent relation, but they were nice and I got a pen with my name on it.  I have since lost the pen, and the place has now gone out of business.  Damn.

Well, shit, I just moved out of a city where everything has the same name as my surname. I could've done with this about 10 years ago. Now I'm just entitled to shitloads of dried fruit and baking ingredients.

Surely that means an infinite supply of free fruit cake?
