When I was a kid (about 5 or so), I remember being in a local Piggly Wiggly and the Manager walked by and said "hello".  I asked him if he was Mr Piggly or Mr Wiggly.

My parents were mortified.  He thought it was hilarious.

That store's still in business, I think of that every time I go home and drive past it.
