Fightin Joe Hooker from Hadley Massachusets is widely believed to have given his name to prostitutes during the Civil War.

@panzade,
Hooker was the "GI" general of his day. He took command of the Army of the Potomac after Burnside was relieved, and Hooker did as much as he could to improve moral. He was responsible for the corps patches by which troops could be identified, and which instilled a measure of esprit de corps. He also lifted restrictions on sutlers which had been put in place by his prudish predecessor, and the "camp followers" who flooded into the army were quickly dubbed "Hooker's girls."

And what did they give General Hooker in return? Was he cured?

@panzade,
He must have been good. They didn't have to call him "Fighting" Joe Hooker, you know.

@Setanta,
Hooker had his hookers, and I understand Burnside gave his name to side burns.

@Setanta,
I forgot to take a picture, but I was highly amused at this sign (as best as I can reconstruct from memory):

"We place the highest importance on our customers when they come in. We want them to be happier than they were before they came."

Quote:
The Hollywood sign high in the steep Los Angeles hills has become an iconic monument since it was built in 1923.

Local residents say satellite navigation systems are making it easier for tourists to find their way through the area's winding roads and narrow alleyways in their quest to take photographs close to the sign.

And frustrations are growing in the nearby upmarket neighbourhood over increased traffic and fire risks in the arid area.
