  • This is a true story. A friend of mine invited his assistant and a major client to dinner one Saturday evening. The client's name was unfortunately Mike Hunt. All week, the assistant was worried that she would put her foot in it and would introduce Mike Hunt to her husband by saying "And this Mike Hunt". Come the day, she had steeled herself not to say "Mike Hunt" under any circumstances. Then, it was introductions time. She turned to her husband and carefully said "This is Michael C**t". This swiftly followed by a red face and a screech of "Oh my God!"
  • There's a lady at St Robert McAlphine called Nicky Christmas, sounds like a superhero's alterego.

    I have friend called Mark Hunt, used to go to school with him. One day one of the female teachers was looking for him and came across to a group of us and said...

    'Has anyone seen Mark Hunt'

    There was loads of schoolboy giggling before she realised what she said and departed very quickly. This was the same teacher that said, when handed a screw that was found in the school corridor, 'Thank you, I've always wanted a screw'
