Actual dialogue:<br /><br />Me: hello.<br />Them: My name is x. May I have your name?<br />Me: I think x is a fine name. Why do you want my name? What will I use then?<br /><br />CONFUSED SILENCE.<br /><br />If they are smart, they laugh. Oh, ha ha! Right, now what's your name?<br /><br />If they are dumb, I have to explain the joke. That is very painful.<br /><br />I wish those other two people would give me back my name.<br /><br />Bye, Grandpa!Fantastic Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044290192610027408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028095877472189968.post-4599239197790150222009-05-06T22:17:00.000-04:002009-05-06T22:17:00.000-04:00Interesting, Grandpa.

Apparently I should have kept my maiden name when I got married if I wanted to be completely unique - there was only 1 (or fewer) people with that name (as opposed to 3 with my married name). huh. whoever named me must have known I was really one of a kind... until I got married...belhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247590943276439138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028095877472189968.post-88804145746146344712009-05-06T09:04:00.000-04:002009-05-06T09:04:00.000-04:00I so did that...not to long ago and was shocked ho...I so did that...not to long ago and was shocked how many of me are running around.
