Walked into the Link in Farnham today to buy a hands free thingie for my mobile and the dame that served me had "BEX" printed on her name badge, so I asked her if her first name was Wheat.

I realised it wasn't the cleverest wisecrack I ever made when she almost killed me with one of those looks that only a scorned woman can manage.

If she's going to give herself a silly name then what does she expect?

I'm used to comments about my nickname even though it actually refers to my surname and not my physical characteristics!

If she hasn't got a sense of humour then it's her own fault for not insisting on Rebecca on her badge.

Assuming her parents weren't dyslexic or hippies that is!

in the office once, a girl was dressed all in black. "So, who's died then eh?" I said and she replied "my dad!" Another workmate then kindly opened the window for me to jump out...

Some years ago my new Boss (a woman) rang me on a sales matter.

She said "Oh Geoff, I was looking at your file and saw it was your birthday yesterday - happy birthday. Do you realise that makes you 2 years older than me?"
"Oh come on", I said, "you're kidding"
"No, really"
"You're joking aren't you"......as realisation dawned slowly that she was serious.

I gradually dug the hole deeper and deeper and about 8 weeks later got the sack!

Talk about young and naive.

Now I never comment on anything about a woman - age, weight, dress etc without totally covering myself (hopefully not in shite) - speshly SWMBO!

I think if had got the reaction that you had received I would have also asked her in an apologetic way as to whether in resemblance, she followed her mother or father's side of the Family. On my way out I would further comment on how similar her face looked, to that of a smacked kipper! Yes I would I say it, that would cheer me up. Bex! Bex! Bex! P'rhaps on the other hand, she had a tight fisted boss who only supplied narrow name tags!!
