Here in Oz, as in Britain, we have the driest of the dry (and even beyond THE DRY) sense of humour.
Hence the " |:-\ "
The tinge of humour arises from a situation where EVERYONE knows what is being discussed, but someone feigns angelic innocence of the topic (often the worst deviant imaginable within the group), while trying to portray a shimmering halo.
As it happens - I worked with a "Peter Head" - whose brother was "Richard" - a civil engineer.
We took great delight in often reminding Peter of his family relatives.
Usually found in any fasteners catalogue: Philip, Round, Socket ... 
We also have some other interesting families here:
The Knee's: Rod, Syd, and Dickey
The Monie's: Sarah, Matri, and Ali. 
Oh Lord spare me
