“I would fly as the wingman to my instructor, Mike Hoch”? Great story, but this line gave me pause

    He's a legendary Canadian pilot. Known as "hokey" because he pronounces his last name like "Hawk." Now read the name again.

    If you re-syllabize the words and pronounce the last one like it rhymes with "tock" then it's obscene. "Mike Hoch" -> "My Cock"

      I see, thanks. If that's the case I wish they'd just say they're not willing to give out their name, but so it goes.

        Mike Hoch is, in fact real[1], but that kind of word game is common. Heywood Jablome, Hugh Jass, Amanda Huggenkiss... There was a running gag on The Simpsons where Bart would prank call Moe's Tavern with names like these.[2] [1] https://www.thoroldtoday.ca/columns/column-niagaras-own-top-gun-weighs-in-on-hollywood-versions-6490279 https://www.thoroldtoday.ca/columns/column-niagaras-own-top-...
