    I spotted a new neighbour moving in a few house down last week. A couple in their early 30's

    This morning As I went out to work I was feeding the friendly neighbourhood black cat .As I was she came over to introduce herself and asked me the cats name. Cats only around a few days

    She asked me his name

    "Oj is what I call him"

    Looks at me confused "OJ??"

    Yes OJ I said as I saw him killing a few birds

    Now as this stage I thought she would get my joke but alas she didn't get it so I explained it

    "his a black cat and he kills birds and gets away with it"

    It eventually clicked with her and she says to " That's an appaling name" and storms off in a huff

    SO AH now what do I do to make the new neighbour realise i'm not a weirdo or should I just move on as she didn't get my humour

    Cats speak in your neck of the woods?

    I think it's a clinic you're in at the moment.

    Moving house because your neighbour didn't enjoy your slightly off colour joke seems a bit extreme.......

    Why would you want to get to know someone who doesn't like that name and the reason behind it? Her loss. No more time to be wasted on her.

    It's a fairly amusing little anecdote but it's hardly outlandish or in any way worthy of bothering to make up and post about... :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭evolving_doors


    So what is the cats real name then if Oj is its stage name?

    Anyway ...

    What do you call a black cat that sits in the cockpit of an aeroplane?

    The person living "a few doors down" is not a neighbour. You had no need to engage them in conversation.

    In fact I barely acknowledge the guy who lives next door, and he's been there twenty years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,068 ✭✭✭Specialun


    well shes not exactly Jessica Alba but then again shes not exactly gail from coronation street

    We had a dog called OJ in 1996! He was white but that was the joke :)

    Well your plan worked out extremely well.

    Good neighbourliness only leads to "can I borrow the lawnmower" and other ghastliness.

    Everybody used to ask his name and then say "but he's white??!!!" and laugh.
    The OJ Simpson trial was much more current that year than it is now. Also I was 13, leave my 13 year old self alone!!!

    I once had a cat named Socks, because she was all black but her feet were white. Am I doin' it right?

    No, you're supposed to call it the opposite of what it is :mad:

    While I can appreciate the subtle humour and the delectable irony of your choice of name for your dog, I'm still trying to fathom Nozzer's post.

    This is just not good enough.

    Why would people laugh at that!? 13 or not, there has to be some sort of logic to calling a dog OJ.

    The dog was also a star footballer with a penchant for the cutlery drawer. He was well known in circles of canine appreciation.

    On the plus side she seems to like cats. On the minus side she's obviously a PC brigade idiot with no sense of humour. Let her ride off on her high horse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    Neighbour sees OP feeding cat, decides to go over and start friendly conversation.

    "Hi how's things!? Nice cat, What's his name?"

    Specialun is bending down beside the cat and looks over his shoulder with a creepy smile on his face and says "OJ"

    Neighbour: "Oh. OJ? Why's that?"

    Specialun: "Cos of OJ Simpson?!"

    Neighbour: "Eh?"

    Specialun: "Well the cat is black."

    Neighbour: "Uh-hu?"

    Specialun: "and he kills birds!", Specialun begins to cackle a maniacal laugh, overcome with the amazing funniness of his comment.

    Neighbour: "That's awful" and runs away.

    Can you tell I write scripts for Bollywood?
