Puerile Penile Name Fun

Heard advertised on our NPR station, an announcement of the Austin Symphony concert this weekend. It's a classical concert featuring "pianist James Dick."

Imagine that in common usage: "Where's that pianist, Dick?", "You should talk to Dick, the pianist", "If you want a good pianist, you want Dick!", etc.

Because honestly, what kind of masochist survives a childhood saddled with the last name "Dick", only to go on to become a pianist? He might as well have gone ahead and changed his first name to Peter, or Rod, or (why not?) Cock.
