When my dad was a kid, he knew a guy called Tony Heartnut.

Knee
Heart
Nut (head, not testicle - that would have involved going back the other way, and would also have been a sin to gesture towards.)

It’s the kind of thing that passed as funny when comedy was rationed during World War II.

I knew an English guy called Mike Hunt. Even my mother found that one funny.
