Stupid Titles

TomTom

We all know of people who give them titles to elevate their status or naming a product to make it appear better, what’s the worst you have heard.

Today I was looking for a brown envelope but could not find one in the stationary cupboard, turns out they were in the box marked 'Corporate Manila Gummed Wallet'. Fair play to the person who came up with that one.

Idi Amin wins this hands down..

"His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular."

Interesting character.

The Express

Bit of advice if you're trying to impress people, and make them think you have a 'certain status':

when they say 'hello', reply with a handshake and say 'how do you do?' in a slightly anglicised accent.

worked nicely for me a couple of times :cool:

Capt'n Midnight

Mrs Windsor uses fancy titles.

Jesus Wept

Junior Vice-President Homer Simpson.
