Introducing new staff with appropriate names.

Our human resources policy is now to only recruit staff with appropriate names for the position they are about to fill, so without further ado: I'd like to proudly introduce, from Shanghai, our new TCP/IP expert and Routing engineer, Mr Wan Lan Ping... ...and please give a warm welcome to my charming new PA from the Republic of Belarus, Miss Leila Ismailova... www.fxxxingcomputers.co.uk |

This is a variant of 'Late arrivals at the ball", popularised by the long-running BBC radio show "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" (ISIHAC - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'm_Sorry_I_Haven't_a_Clue ). There are lots of examples; e.g.: Late arrivals at the Americans ball: Cybil Rights, and her Irish cousin Bill O'Rights. From Chinatown, that oriental-American artist, Yang-Kee Doodle. Late arrivals at the Morticians ball: The Gee sisters, Ella and Ula - they've been laid to rest a few times. One (of many) sources of many more examples is http://www.g0akh.f2s.com/isihac/Late_Arrivals_Page.php |

In the Bank of Slovakia, Kasha Bigček is our new favourite, and where better to go then than the Casino, where, on the blackjack table, Delia Goodhand is your croupier, and Tosti Dyson can be found supervising the craps table. www.fxxxingcomputers.co.uk |

My grand-uncle, Jefferson Hunt, married Helen. They lived in Twin Falls, Idaho. Aunt Helen, although not a hoarder, did have a penchant for collecting stuff. Because her reputation was town wide, she became the de facto "Twin Falls Lost-and-Found". Even the Twin Falls Police Department sent her all of the items that people found within the jurisdiction of the department since it saved the deparment from allocating storage space for the items. After losing his wallet at the Snake River Overlook, a tourist went to the police to ask them if his wallet had been turned in. Their response did not sit well with the tourist: Quote (Desk Sergeant):We suggest that you go to Helen Hunt for it. ![[santa] santa](http://www.tipmaster.com/images/santa.gif) Mufasa (aka Dave of Sandy, Utah, USA) "People may forget what you say, but they will never forget how you made them feel." |

BadBigBen: I know a Mrs. Gravely who works at a cemetery (seriously). -- Francis In Deo nos confídimus. Ceteris pariatur. |
|
Ah, to work at a cemetery...I have always dreamed of having a job with a lot of people under me...I hear people are dying to get in there. There's Lily Reith and her mam Oriel Cross, funereal florists, Ed Stone, monumental mason, Poul Berra, and the strangely similarly named Paul Bearer, part of the team that carry the coffins, Gaz Furness who fires up the crematorium, and "Cinders" Miller, whose daily grind is to process the remains. The head groundsman is D. Plotts, the last in a long line of the family Plotts, assisted by young Will Berry. Thanks to DansDadUK who has already mentioned the Gee sisters, Ella and Ula and there's E.P. Taff, who can often be found among the gravestones. A very interr resting place, the cemetery. www.fxxxingcomputers.co.uk |

This one is genuine - I know because the person in question is a friend of mine. The ornithologist running the RSPB in Letchworth is Dr Peck.
However, I can't substantiate the rumour that the refrigerated transport department of our local supermarket is run by Mr I. C. Van Handler.

When I lived in Michigan, there was a Doctor Docter at the local hospital. Funny this was, before he started, whenever they paged "Doctor Doctor," that was the code for a hospital emergency. Some of the older doctors laughed whenever they heard him being paged because they still got an adrenalin rush thinking it was an emergency. James P. Cottingham I'm number 1,229! I'm number 1,229! |

A group of interns were given a hospital department orientation, including a trip to Shipping & Receiving for a dock tour. Skip,

Were they also shown round the air conditioning plant by one of the maintenance guys - i.e. a ducter? |

When my friend, Brent Bishop, was called to be the ecclesiastical leader of local LDS congregation, he became Bishop Bishop. And in the same vein, when I served as a missionary many years ago, one of my co-missionaries was Reed Elder, thus becoming Elder Elder.

New York City's former Fire Commissioner (and later Police Commissioner) was named Howard Safir. I used to chuckle, thinking the Fire Commisioner's last lame was pronounced SA-fire. Until I found out he pronounced it SAY-fer.
But that works too. |
