I drove through KERN county twice this past week in California...

This bakery was very popular in this region of the country back in the day.
Peter Kern was a German immigrant who immigrated to the US in the mid-1800's and eventually
fought for the South in the Civil War. He was captured and held by the North in Knoxville, TN in 1863, where
they told him they'd leave him be as long as he didn't leave town to rejoin his regiment up north - so he did.
He partnered up with another fella and started a confectionary and bakery.

It remained a popular brand up until the evil corporation known as Sara Lee bought it in 1989 and promptly killed
it off (SL itself has since sold itself several times over).
Our largest regional grocery chain Food City revived the Kerns name in 2008 and it's still kicking
to this day, exclusive to their stores (but not, honestly, the same product - it's quite "budget quality" today).
 
How many of you have met someone with the same name as you?
I met a guy named Gregory C Kern once.
I was in court for a traffic ticket. They called my name, I approached the bench, made my case and later left the courtroom. In the lobby, a guy came up to me….
“You’re Gregory C Kern?
I said, yeah, that is me.
I’m Gregory C Kern.
This man was from out of town but visiting a friend that had to go to court that day. He just happened to tag along and they called OUR name. Imagine his shock… no reason for him to be called up to the bench.
We had different middle names but still, it was quite weird.
 
There is a guy here in Tallahassee with my same name and birth year as me that has a wrap sheet a mile long so anytime I am ever pulled over
they would get on the radio with dispatch and go back and forth till they realized I was the "lighter" version of both of us.

There was a guy here in New Zealand with my name - not sure on his middle name, but first and surname identical - he was a famous Jockey/Horse trainer.... died a couple of years ago.
You could never mistake us side-by-side. :lol:

My favourite co-incidence is I share the exact same birthday - day and year as Keanu Reeves....aka John Wick.

That was me a bit over 5 years ago.
 
I was looking for a house and came across one listed by a person named Ulli. I showed it to Theresa and we laughed. A few hours later, I couldn't take it anymore. I told Theresa, load up, we're going to see this guy, this I have to see. When we got there, this guy introduces himself and it's not him. I asked to speak to Ulli. He looks at me funny and says, few ever pronounces it right, I'll be right back. Out walks this hot middle age WOMEN. At this point I don't know if she grew a pair or if I lost mine!! The guy we first met was her husband and the four of us ended up going to dinner later. We were both born in Germany.

I was watching the Honeymonners; Ralph and Norton "flipped a Kern" to determine who breaks on the billiard table
 
My name is Jason Coffey and I used to work with another guy called Jay Coffey. You can imagine the chaos that caused. HR never got anything right lol.
