Subject: The Name Game

We've all seen "Rings" here on the Net, where a group of people with similar interests link their homepages together. Well, a new club of Nazi Feminists decided to do the same. The name of their ring is gonna be "The Vicious Circle".

Some of us have been to High School Reunions and I'm sure some have also served on the "committees" too. Well, I offered to help out and found an awful lot of people on my list to be contacted who were really the "also rans" of the class. You know the type, they were never allowed to sit at the "in" lunch tables.

Well, this one girl, named Giselle, was by far and away the oddest character in the class. I called and asked if this was Miss Giselle Warbeschek Pifflestock.

She replied, "Yes ... ?"

I said, "This is Jimmy Moore from Milford Mill, Class of 1959."

"WHO ?"

"Jimmy Moore Giselle, don't you remember me ?"

"No. I don't believe I do."

"Oh. I'm sorry, I must have gotten the wrong Giselle Warbeschek Pifflestock."

"Yes. I believe you have." [click]

At work I never dictated correspondence, but wrote it out for the secretary to type. Guess I should have learned to proof-read better though. I once sent a letter to a Mr. William F Hawkins and in my shorthand style, had put the name as "Hawkins, Wm F atty".

The letter went out to Mr. William Fatty Hawkins.

Pity the poor guy with only initials for a name though. I remember a R.B. Cody. Well, the State, like any bureaucracy, doesn't deal well with oddities. He had even filled out all the forms as "R. (only) B. (only) Cody." His first pay check was issued to Ronly Bonly Cody.

Poor guy was known as "Ronly Bonly" from then on.
