Heywood Jablome survives Katrina!!!!!!

Claim: Crude 'funny name' appears on Hurricane Katrina survivor list.

Status: True.

Origins: Two of the oldest and crudest 'funny name' gags are to call switchboard operators and ask them to page a "Mike Hunt," and to give out one's name to the media as some variant of "Heywood Jablome." (A previous instance of the latter is covered in our "media goofs"
section.)
