That moment at the building reception when you’re going to see a client called ‘Splunk’ (yes, really) and they ask you ‘where are you going to?’ and you say:

“I’m going to Splunk”

…and you try to keep straight face about it.

I was once introduced to a business associate of my dad’s whose surname was Enema.

Seriously. How can someone with a name like that even get up in the morning?

You need a receptionist called Maipants.

Haha, we’ve been using their product for years. Beware of autocorrect faux pas….

How about a CEO called Anurag Dikshit?

Haha, we’ve been using their product for years. Beware of autocorrect faux pas….

I hear the product is very good.

or a colleague called Wilhelm Wankum

One of my old school girlfriends names was Pratt, Joanna Pratt.

Beautiful girl, sexy like real sexy. Married an Iranian I was told, moved there, had two kids, “escaped” Iran in 2002 fleeing a mob who wanted to stone her ( I was told )

I think she wanted to get married so she could change her surname, not sure but hey.. who’d want a name like Pratt following them around for the rest of thier life…

I had an hour long chat with two ladies from Splunk discussing their product. Definitely one for the w4nk bank..

We had a rep come in by the name of Sting Sumner.
Coolest name in the world.

Oh dear. How childish. You won’t get me mentioning Mike Hunt from Eugena Swimwear or Helmut Wanke from Klepper windsurfers. Both mates from BITD.

We had a rep come in by the name of Sting Sumner.

Sting’s surname being indeed Sumner.

who’d want a name like Pratt following them around for the rest of thier life…

(sic)
Well, a good friend of many years standing has that as his surname, and thus his wife and two kids, although his daughter may be married…
Never seemed to bother them.

Yup,

You are definitely overthinking my “ditty”
