She's married. There's a Mr. Rape out there somewhere.

[–]d24nt_ban_me_again 10 points11 points ago

He's one of the world's leading analrapists. Studied under Dr. Funke at MIT.

[–]albequirky 6 points7 points ago

Who studied under highly qualified Carl Withers.

[–]ajani57 1 point2 points ago

I thought he was a therapist.

[–]F1A 1 point2 points ago

Oh you should go to see Dr. Rape, therapist.

[–]moogoesthecat 1 point2 points ago

Excuse me. It's pronounced "Rah-pay".

[–]Annarr 0 points1 point ago

[–]TheGreatJatsby 14 points15 points ago

Seriously if your last name is Rape, change your last name. It's not that special.

[–]rex-manning-day 6 points7 points ago

No shit, I feel like changing your name would be a no-brainer.

[–]maskake 11 points12 points ago

I'm pretty sure she pronounces it as "Rah-peh"

[–]TheAmazingNormal 4 points5 points ago

I read this as 'Teach; rape me'. I don't know why I clicked it.

[–]epatti0914 2 points3 points ago

Am I the only person who doesn't find this significant because one: I know people with the last name "Rape," it's not really that big of a deal, and two: even if it was, is this really WTF?

[–]DeadCarlosSlim 1 point2 points ago

yes

[–]herrsmith 2 points3 points ago

I really hope her family wasn't originally named for their profession...

[–]chiquichin 2 points3 points ago

It's French, bitch!

[–]kbee11 2 points3 points ago

The Hubby teaches Sunday School.

[–]frobischer 2 points3 points ago

Fun Fact!

Canola oil comes from the rape plant. Rape oil didn't sound as good so they called it Canola after "Canadian Oil, Low Acid." It is somewhat toxic in its natural state so it is heavily bleached and modified to remove toxic compounds and acids.

[–]thecritic06 3 points4 points ago

In the UK we just call it rapeseed oil.

[–]chunkable 1 point2 points ago

"The name derives from the Latin for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, and is first recorded in English at the end of the 14th century." So I can see this particular name having pretty humble origins.

[–]Dave_Vai 2 points3 points ago

Ring Ring

"Hello, thank you for calling Pizza Hut, how can I help?"

"I would like to book a table for dinner tonight."

"Yes, and what is the name?"

"Rape, a table for two for Rape."

hangs up

:-(

[–]mjrohs 1 point2 points ago

The most wtf part of this whole thread is the idea of a Pizza Hut both accepting and needing reservations.

[–]Dave_Vai 0 points1 point ago

Some small inner city ones which are near cinemas will take a booking or they may not have space to sit you. But, really, I just couldn't think of a place that would be universally known :-)

[–]mjrohs 0 points1 point ago

Fair enough! :)

[–]linuxbman 1 point2 points ago

it's french, pronounced "rah-pai"

[–]SuperSlayin 1 point2 points ago

Does she know that she can legally change her name?

[–]peppapots 1 point2 points ago

I was watching one of those police chase shows a few years ago and one of the policemen was called officer Ray Pugh. I am a Brit and if I was pulled over in the States and the officer introduced himself as Ray Pugh I'd poo my pants.

[–]Sparklebutt69 1 point2 points ago

*best English accent, "It's pronounced, rah-pay."

[–]CuntWeasel 2 points3 points ago

First name Anna, middle name Linda.

Mrs. Anna L. Rape - kindergarten.

[–]Turbomullet 1 point2 points ago

It is important we spread the message that you can actually legally change your name. This is important stuff to know people.

[–]whatevrmn 1 point2 points ago

She probably comes from a long line of Rapists and is proud of her name and heritage.

[–]Turbomullet 0 points1 point ago

You mean African American?

[–]DailyPeep 0 points1 point ago

They must have some oblivious parents.

[–]Back--Fire 0 points1 point ago

At least they all look happy.

[–]Fausto1981 0 points1 point ago

i'd be enthusiastic to leave my children to her.

[–]HiImTed 0 points1 point ago

Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time, MISTER AND MISSES RAPE.

:You told me it was pronounced Rap-eh!:

[–]shifty1776 0 points1 point ago

And I thought having a teacher named Mrs. Gross was weird

[–]chunkable 0 points1 point ago

Was just watching the episode of Happy Endings with the dude named Hitler. Hilarious

[–]AndroidAR 0 points1 point ago

My kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Lynch, didn't realize the meaning till years later, but she's really awesome, and it's always fun visiting her, she's still teaching 16 years later.

[–]One_Wheel_Drive 0 points1 point ago

My Chemistry teacher a few years back was a Mr Lynch.

[–]Kristina_Marie 0 points1 point ago

Omg, I was a first grader but this is my year book! Haha.

[–]Kristina_Marie 0 points1 point ago

My first grade yearbook! Haha, weird.

[–]domdom4ever 0 points1 point ago

Why did you put it twice?

[–]Kristina_Marie 0 points1 point ago

I didn't see it the first time I posted it. My phone messes up, I looked thru all the comments but didn't see it. Haha. So I posted again. Then the other popped up. I didn't know how to delete it?

[–]mandiexile 0 points1 point ago

I think you need another lesson from Rape.

[–]SevenDeadlyNinjas 0 points1 point ago

It's like $200 to file the documents to have your name changed.

[–]thetokingbandit 0 points1 point ago

That is an unfortunate last name.

[–]fa_cube_itch 0 points1 point ago

I had a middle school teacher named Mr. Raper.

[–]Ashton42 0 points1 point ago

my kindergarten teacher's name was Mrs. Knapp...waaaaaay better

[–]ZorkFox 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Bette Midler?

[–]monstrous_moose 0 points1 point ago

She was a real pain in the ass.

[–]random314 0 points1 point ago

I forgot how popular striped shirts were back in the 80's and early 90's.

[–]The_Real_Johnny_Utah 0 points1 point ago

I think there's supposed to be an accent on the e to make it Rap-eh, I assume she lives in 'Merica where it's un'merican to be French.

[–]ehjayred 0 points1 point ago

I had a teacher named Mrs.gay once.

[–]mandiexile 0 points1 point ago

I had a teacher named Gay Bird. And she had a really long pinky nail that was obviously for sneaking her coke. I also had a teacher named Mr. Golem. He was old, Jewish, and balding.

[–]sativaB 0 points1 point ago

Should of been "Rape taught me..."

[–]Strelock 0 points1 point ago

It's french. You're reading it wrong. Actually, I really have no idea.

[–]rosswinn 0 points1 point ago

I would probably change my name to Consensual.

[–]Gooshnads 0 points1 point ago

God damnit if Mr Rape would marry the Ms. Boner from my grade 1 days

[–]jammastajayt 0 points1 point ago

I actually had a teacher named Mr. Rapé in middle school. It was always a joke he was Mr. Rape.

[–]EbolaPie 0 points1 point ago

I hadn't seen it before, and as long as he isn't going "HEY REDDIT LOOK AT THIS GEM I FOUND IN MY PARENTS BASEMENT IN WHICH I TOTALLY DONT LIVE LOL" who does it really hurt? Nobody, that's who.

[–]Garizondyly 2 points3 points ago

Hey, I care about Nobody! Don't talk about him like that. He has feelings.

[–]Squalor- -3 points-2 points ago

If you're a fan of Mrs. Rape, does that make you a Rapist?

[–]Garizondyly 0 points1 point ago

...so a fan of Aunt Jemima would be a Jemimist?
