There a Canadian sports exec named Dick Pound. At some point Mr and Mrs Pound were at the hospital and the new baby was born, and they're like "he will be known as Richard and will go by Dick, with a hard D".
From what I've heard, the nickname has its origin in 19th century England. At the time, the people were into rhyming names. A short name for Richard is Rick. Since Dick rhymes with Rick, the name stuck.

This guy clearly has been the butt of the jokes
I remember seeing him on David Letterman and the Via Con Dios Dick Assman song
Dick Assman and his father, Adolf.
I heard he has a poor work ethic. In school, he cut one entire week. At work he likes to blow off entire months.
Still, I'll give him credit for his hobby as a fromager. He sure does like to cut the cheese.
First time making a joke?
He should take up Proctology
