funny thing happened to me last thursday at work
where i work, there is 3 companies but 1 receptionnist.
when she goes on a coffee break, she transfers the calls to me. (the joys of being bilingual & having a phone voice!)
so the phone rang, and it was a customer from florida wanting to
talk to a sales rep. i had to take a message. soooooo he gives me his
name and rest of info... he tells me his name is Bill Brown. soo... i kinda went silent on him. and he then said to me...
oh dear... u know that song too huh? i said yes.
he said it caused him a bit of a problem. his business cards used to read Billy Brown, he had them reprinted with William Brown, but every one calls him Billy.
he thought that calling to Canada he could use Bill as his name without anyone knowing about it! he says he won't take that change anymore, even when he is calling out of the country hehehe.. thought it was funny!
(he didn't think it was :roftl: )
