This is a question Misunderstood

My other half rang a courier today to get a disc sent over to a client. The courier company asked what it was she was sending. "A computer disc", she said.

Half an hour later, 3 blokes in a van turned up. They looked a little disappointed to be handed a floppy disc: they were all prepared to shift a computer desk across London.

Have you been utterly misunderstood recently?

what's in a name.
when you're parents choose your name, you'd hope and assume that they'd pick a name that wouldn't actively encourage the bullying and embrassment of their offspring.

Not for me. My name's B J Snell.

B J Snell. Laugh it up.

How the hell can this happen?

Well, my mother clearly doesn't know what B J actually means since when she sends me mail it always says "Mr. B J Snell" in big letters, and she once said to me (no shit) these very words:
"B J. I like that. It sounds nice don't you think?"

Uh. Cheers, but no. You're my mother. Inappropriate.

My dad strikes me as considerably less innocent. So I'm just left to assume he didn't have the heart to tell the other meaning of that wonderful name she'd chosen for me. It's not something I feel I can ask him about directly, y'know.

I see the funny side now. Went a little red at that job interview yesterday tho. *sigh*.

Apologies for le
