You may have already heard this but I laughed out loud when I came across this: an officer involved in Dick Cheney's recent difficulties is called Captain Kirk.

Phasers off, gentlemen.

Alas, he was Charles, not "James Tiberius"...

There was a previous newsworthy Captain Kirk of a Danish trawler raiding our fishing grounds.

Another case of EU deflector shields preventing common sense.

Ken: Priceless!

You can imagine that he stood up, saw the barrels, looked down at his shirt then tilted his head to the camera with that resigned, deadpan, fatalistic look.
