Noble Fleming died...

...last month at age 92. Never heard of him? I hadn't either. But, based on that name alone, do you think he was famous for being:

(A) a longshoreman;
(B) a professional wrestler;
(C) a middle school custodian; or
(D) the leading tea taster for the Thomas J. Lipton Company.

Hint: the correct answer isn't (A), (B) or (C).

Need more help? Okay. His full name was Noble Fearnley Hutchinson Fleming.

Reminds me of the time Jerry Seinfeld said, "Ever notice a lot of butlers are named Jeeves? You know, I think when you name a baby Jeeves, you've pretty much mapped out his future, wouldn't you say?"
