His name is ...
Ok, the only really hellish thing about this customer was the difficulty of trying not to laugh, but here we go.

Until today, I worked in a home furnishings store. A customer bought some stuff, couldn't carry it and was going to send her son in to pick it up.
"You'll know who he is," she assured us. "He's 25, he's about this tall, blond, and his name ... is Lol."
I stare.
"That's L-O-L: LOL."
"Yes ms. I think I'll remember that."

Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve
Had a character called Lol. A mentally retarded Welsh lad.
Only other usage of the name I can think of.

I believe
there was a skin-head in 'This is England' named Lol.
Quite apt, really.

So not really that odd then, although I wonder if Mr. Tolhurst has gone back to calling himself Laurence in order to avoid people asking if he turns his head to smile.

I'm thinking your customer might be a Cure fan also.

I had no idea there was such an abundance of Lols!
The more Lols the better, I say. Even better, my dad's initials are OMG :D

My best mate is also named Lol...
Short for Lawrence. Quite how that conclusion was reached Im not sure but thats been his name since before the internet corrupted peoples ability to speak normally so It cant be from that

Now that I think about it, he is the only Lol I know of also.
