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."

Lisa Karr is a different reporter. (To those of you outside the SF Bay Area, yes, we really do have someone named "Lisa Karr" on our staff!)
