What to call new lifts at work.

[#13528200]

I'm having 2 new office lifts installed at the moment, and I'll need to get labels made for them. This is my opportunity to give them each a stupid name on a nameplate that isn't dead obvious alongside the proper ID for the maintenance records. Go on then, give it your best shot. 

For inspiration they are Kone MonoSpace 500 models. 

Anyone suggesting Lifty McLiftface is immediately disqualified. I won't be able to name them anything offensive, but I don't mind the suggestions being made here.

If they are workplace lifts I'd call them Dantés Lifts because every floor will be a level of hell. Even better if they go to 9 floors.

"Daddy" and "Chips".

Although I do like salt n pepa, once they're ready you can send an email round titled Salt n pepa's here!

Must admit I'd not though of a pair of partners names, it's a good idea though. I fear a lot of the staff who work here are too young to know who Salt 'n Pepa are. 

Surely all the better for the joke?

I keep making prodigy jokes at work. A solid half my office was born after their payday.

Call them both Schindler. A great if not dark joke, and will completely confuse the lift engineers when they find out that they aren't made by Schindler.

When you're working on industrial equipment, causing confusion to the maintenance engineers about their work location is definitely not a great idea! 😁

If one's Otis then the other one has to be Marvin.

And there'll be lots of people coming in, and going out again.

Or just Vic and Bob, or Bob and Paul - 'and away!'
