badmigraine 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 This one's been done to death before, but never fails to give me a chuckle. OK, how about this? I met a guy here last week named "Dick Pratt". A fine counterpoint to Dick Nagai, who had no Japanese and no idea. And don't even ask me about Joe Manko, who came to Tokyo from the home office to "beat the bushes" for investment clients. Nobody had the heart to tell him. I suppose the silliest one of all was when Milton Suk Dong Kim came to L.A. to solicit investment advice. I mean, really. I'd just like to know in which country my name means something to do with bathrooms, bodily parts, or natural functions. AND THEN I WANT TO GO THERE. Link to post Share on other sites
