I thought I remembered something about a real man named Hazel but wasn't sure where. Apparently it's a male rabbit in Watership Down, but I'm not really counting rabbits.
But then I remembered that the serial killer Pee Wee Gaskins killed his first person while in prison. (His last also, but that's another story.) Pee Wee was just a little scrawny guy and decided to make his reputation (and protect himself) by killing the meanest man in the prison. The guy he chose was named Hazel Brazell (I hope they didn't rhyme exactly but maybe they did) who was universally feared by inmates and guards alike. The book I read about it it in says "Nobody, not even the guards, dared ever to call him Hazel to his face."
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
