Default Call signs

What is the dumbest sounding call sign you have ever heard?

The West Coast had an operator that used "Waterski"

Yup, It's my understanding that "Critter" was the nickname of the little airplane thing that valujet had painted on the tail of their planes...

The everglades accident lead to a new nickname, which I imagine is one of the reasons they changed the call sign.

With all due respect to my UPS brethern and sistern, Browntail. They only used it for a short time and, if memory serves, a lot of their crews simply refused to use it.
