Some parents are bastards.

If your surname was "Thomas" you wouldn't call your son "John", now would you? Apparently you would; one of the phone girls in the office was overheard talking to a gentleman of such appellation. She was unaware of the slang term at the time and now has to ring him back without laughing.

Assuming that is, of course, his real name.

This prompted a brief discussion in the office. Apparently Paul once knew a boy - a vicar's son, no less - by name of Richard Seaman. He also had a pair of gym teachers called Stretch and Stride. We are forced to conclude that it is, in point of fact, a funny old world.

UPDATE: The same girl has just called John Connors.

Ahhh... it reminds me of several humorous lets mess with the YTS girls humour in a past job.

There's nothing like hearing an entire warehouse burst into laughter after said young girl loudly asked the question

"Has anybody seen Mike Hunt?"

Office humour, keeping therapists in business - everywhere
