funny or stupid

I am kinda self employed, so every year about this time I bake some rum cakes. I take them to a couple of realty offices that I do work for. they have their company meetings on Tuesday mornings, so I go into this one office and deliver the cake. so on the way out is the receptionist, so sheepishly I say your name is Amanda isn't it? she replies yes, it is. so I say, I am terrible with names, it would be easier for me if you went by the kind of car you drove like, Escort! I looked at her and said that didn't come out right did it? at least she was laughing when I ran out the door. I don't believe i'll ever forget her name now, I just hope I call her by her real name.

Re: funny or stupid

I worked at an office where the female Office Manager's last name was "Call".
Her daughter and a couple of nieces also worked in the office.
As you may guess they were called the "Call Girls".
Not PC, but they didn't seem to mind, they've been hearing it for years!

Re: funny or stupid

At a former job, one of my co-workers yelled at our boss in a moment of frustration that she was tired of being his "Beck and call girl!"  She instantly realized what she said and then said "No, wait...that didn't come out right!"  But we were already rolling on the floor with laughter before she could finish trying to correct herself. We got a lot of mileage out of that one.

Re: funny or stupid

Reminds me of the Seinfeild episode where Jerry was trying to remember a girl friends name. He associated her name with a body part butt couldn't quite remember her name.  Her name was .............Delorise.  (thinkaboughdit)
That show never gets old!!

Lucky you don't drive a tow truck. I worked in a Shell station when I was young, He called his truck the Happy Hooker. Name was printed on the front of the hood.

Re: funny or stupid

That is hilarious Val!

My mom worked in an office with an outside sales guy named Tom Hunt. One of his boy's name was Mike. Yep. Our families were friends. One day when she said the boy's name out loud she didn't know why all the guys were laughing. When the office manager explained to her what the name sounded like she still didn't get it. She had never till that day heard the C word. True story.

Re: funny or stupid

I had a textbook in college written by Michael Hunt.  Man I felt bad for that guy.  Parents need to take a little more time when picking names for their kids.  A good friend went to an all boys high school here in DE and had a classmate named Peter Niss.  When they called role they did it by first initial followed by last name.

Some parents DO have a warped sense I do believe!!
I worked with a guy named Roger Rogers!!  Naturally he was known as Roger squared....

Now this is no S#*t.  We bought our first house from a couple. The husband's name was Richard Butt.  I agree, you can't make this stuff up.

Years ago, I worked with Hughes Helicopters, and their person who was the head of Warranty and Repair was named Richard Head - and yes, he went by Dick.

And pity the poor fool whose parents named him Stuart - when their last name was Pyd.

Dusty was one of our surveyors for seismic work in the 80's. His last name was Rhodes. Well one day Dusty Rhodes got lost and eventually got unlost and returned to camp.

I knew a guy whose last name was Schmuck.  When he got married, he took his wife's last name. I would have too.

That's probably not all he took from his wife.

Re: funny or stupid

Worked with a fellow at the Navy yard.  We all had to have our last name printed on the front of our hard hat.  His name was Hardick. He always left a space between the R and the D.  Always rated a smile & smirk from most of us.
