Coming soon Commander Ben Dover and Captain Ivor Biggun.

Many years ago, when I worked in a large printing facility, we were required to wear dress-style uniforms because we were a high-tech printing facility. Neatness and formality were the order of the day because our customers were high-end (Microsoft, Apple, Norton, Ashton Tate, etc). 

I thought it would be humorous to make a custom name patch for my uniform. I put a lot of work into it and it matched the real ones perfectly.  I replaced my name with the name Ben Dover.  About a week later, the supervisor for the California operations was in town to visit the three plants that made up our division.

I don't have to tell you - I got dressed down pretty severely for that one.  Seems they failed to see the humor.  Hey, when you're 23 you sometimes do stupid stuff.  It did look real though.

Some of my peers in college were fond of slipping names like "Jack Mehoff" into the credits of the boring talk shows we slaved on. The teacher wasn't terribly amused when he finally noticed months later. I don't think he ever found out about the pixelated frames from an adult film someone else used as a background graphic!

General McCracken? Because he's a crack shot? Ouch. Lucasfilm is running out of clever names...
