Funny work quote OTD

[figmo]

Yesterday Sal Castaneda asked me, "If I were to refer to you as 'Lynn Gold' in front of other people, would you scream at me or anything?"

I looked at him quizzically. "No. Why would you even need to ask such a thing?"

"I figured if I'm telling folks who's around, I'd want to mention your name. Is that the name you usually use?"

"Yeah. After all, it's the one on my driver's license and my birth certificate."

Sal looked at me a little confused. "I've known you all these years, yet I wasn't sure which one was your real name. I thought you might've made it up or something."

"No," I replied. "It was my parents' idea."

Er...what's your other name?

I've had a crush on Sal for the longest time. ;)

That's pretty funny, that folks just wouldn't know each other's real name. I guess it's no weirder than folks thinking my last name is really MacTavish. :)

Would it ruin your mystique to ask about your *other* name? All I can figure out is "Figmo of your imagination," but I suspect that's not the point.

Well, at least he didn't think you were Lisa Carr
