    When i worked in dell there was a guy who had a load of computers who rang up all the time for support.

    "Whats the Service Tag there mate?"

    "Ok thanks, And the Name? DICK RAPER"

    I mean the man was Richard really but called him self Dick, Imagine with a second name like that.

    Used to just pass him around to all the lads and get them to ask his name, You'd hear outbursts of laughter from all around the office. Was great craic :D

    From day one everybody called him Aerial, needless to say the jokes were never ending.

    A similar but off subject story.....

    In the 70's before the Euro... I was buying a Tshirt from the UK and needed to send a sterling bank draft. So off to bank I went and queued at the foreign exchange desk.

    A nice lady teller served me and I asked for a draft in name of 'Tell It Tee Shirts'
    She said the name abit too long and could see shorten it ... I said yes and she made the draft out to TITS. Then went around the branch getting Managers to sign it off and I couldn't understand when they were all giggling and looking at me funny... When I saw the draft... I wanted they ground to swallow me!!!!

    I think I went to confession later that evening cos of my catholic guilt!!!

    This isn't real but it made me laugh at the time, partly because the guy who made it up isn't really that strong of an English speaker in the first place.

    Was sitting in the front row of a theatrical ballet performance in London, looking down on the musicians area below the stage. A pianist was sitting right in front of us, with a girl sitting on the stool next to him turning the pages of the sheet music as he played. My friend, who is actually Russian, leans in to me and whispers "I bet her name is Paige Turner".

    I know it doesn't sound so funny now, one of those "you had to be there" moments, but Jesus I almost fainted trying to stop myself exploding with the giggles :)

    My son swears he knows a Russell Sprout - I have my doubts. My daughter goes to school with Leonardo McGlinchy.

    According to Google, Ben Dover is a porn actor and director, so how did you, eh, manage to come across the guy?

    His son is the eldest kid in Outnumbered Tyger Dover

    My first name is Richard and so is my dads so I really hate going to family gatherings especially around Christmas as when we are both in the same room my dad is referred to as "Big Dick" and Im called "Little Dick"
    Really very unfortunate--so I try stay away from us both being in the same place together as much as possible.
