Because we are 8

Jason: I received a package today for one of our sales reps. The return address said, “Dick Sample.”

Me: Heh heh.

Jason: I know! I asked her what she ordered and she got red when she saw the name. But then she said, “It’s not a product sample! It’s the seller’s name!”

Me: Whatever.

Jason: She claims it was something from eBay.

Me: Like the seller couldn’t have gone with “Richard”?

Jason: Or “Rick”?

Me: Yeah!

[minutes pass]

Jason: Dick Sample.

Me: Heh heh.

Jason: ‘If you’re not ready for the real thing, try our starter kit!’

[Uproarious laughter for the next 11 hours]

  1. Well, if it’s from EBAY. I feel MUCH BETTER NOW. Heh.

    Seriously.

    Nice of them to give out samples, though. That’s not the kind of thing you want buyer’s remorse on.

  2. No WAY is that someone’s name. That’s just not possible. That’s the kind of name my immature cousins give at Fuddruckers so that when their order is ready the poor cashier has to call that name over the loudspeaker.

  3. The scary thing is people would buy a dick from ebay.

  4. There was a Freakonomics article about people with funny or strangely appropriate names. My favorite was a (supposedly real) magazine fact-checker named Paige Worthy.

  5. And a funeral director named Eikenberry, “I can bury.”

  6. MBM, Jason has a relative whose last name is Techar (pronounced “teacher”). Guess what their profession is?

  10. I guess I’m 8 as well, since I’m laughing hysterically. Um… let’s say 12, since I have a 7-year-old who I don’t want to understand, by next year, that having a name like that is funny.

  11. That conversation could have happened in our house. We have a funeral chain around here called Amigone. Am I gone?? I’m not even joking.

  12. I second whoever said that they don’t understand why people go by Dick instead of Richard. It’s like allowing someone to call you Pussy as a nickname.

  13. Oh, too funny!
