So once in a while, I'll start mentioning names to Joes. Just to find out what names we agree on, for like future pets (or kids names) or something. (Don't freak out Joesan.) Here are a couple that were thrown out tonight.
- Theodore
- J: That's a pet's name!
- K: No it's not.
- J: Yeah! Like "Alvin, Simon and Theodore." The chipmunks.
- K: But I like Theodore.
- Maurice
- J: That's a black guy's name.
- K: No it's not! It's French.
- Jose (more as a middle name)
- J: Nuh-uh.
- K: Reminds you of someone else huh? (We had a flaming gay co-worker with that name.) But it's my lolo's name. How about Joseph?
- J: Too common.
- Ford
- J: No.
- K: Aww, come on! It sounds cool. We can spell it "Fjord" to make it different.
- J: No.
- Claude
- J & K: *hysterical laughter* (Pauses and looks at each other) *hysterical laughter*
In fairness, some of the names I was calling out were pretty out there. Hehe.
