Overheard

[Mad Doug Biker]

I was at school with a lad called John Thomas. All was well until we found out what John Thomas was slang for.

That reminds me of the story David Seaman told about the day they did Sexual Education at School

There's some pretty strange ones owned by the new intake at my school but I've not learned them yet.

When I worked in a School, in the infant department there was a Dior, Teddy (the only black kid in the school incidentally) and a boy called Rudy.

I know it is cruel, but I couldn't help singing

'Rudy Rudy Rudy Rudy' (the Kaiser Chiefs song 'Ruby')

at him.
Probably gave the poor boy some sort of complex, but anyway.

At work, there's someone in the Bangalore office called Twinkle Cholera.

And they still haven't twigged? Twinkle? honestly! I mean, I ask you!

I worked in Hongkong for a while and had to sort out a driving licence and a bank account.

The former was issued by Fanny Fuk,

Whilst her good Italian friend Carlotta Fagina helped you out in the other departments?

while a very helpful Penny Chew helped me sort out my finances.

I seem to remember seeing a list of asian/oriental people somewhere and one of them was a Mr Thong.

I think it's time to roll this one out again. One of my all-time favourite examples of diplomatic correspondence... (seriously, it is very funny, have a look).

Two girls on the District line a while ago



“I think I’ve got food poisoning”

“you can’t have”

“but my stomach hurts”

“but everyone knows you can only get food poising from fish, and you ain’t eaten no fish today”

I was sat quietly in a pub one day when the phone rang.

The barmaid answered and she said "Ok, I'll ask"

Then, at the top of her voice she shouted "Has anyone seen Mike Hunt"?

The pub, including me fell about laughing, but she obviously didn't realised what was going on.

Simple things eh ...........

Not forgetting the former Korean Foreign Minister Lee Bum Suk, the Malaysian Archbishop, Cardinal Sin, aka J'aime Sin (but without the apostrophe) and the Yugoslavian Defence Minister, General Panic .

Used to have maths lectures from Dr De'ath. Given the lectures were 9am on Saturdays it was pretty apt.

My Dad had a teacher at school called Hugh Flucker, who eventually changed his name by Deed Poll.

Reminds me of that book - "Nail on the Bannister" by R Stornoway.

I used to work with a Margaret Flucker. At least she managed to lose the surname by getting married.

There is a girl in the Inverclyde area called Pocahontas McGhie. She was born around the time the film came out.

I went to school with a Richard Sole. Calling out the register was always embarrassing.
