I once worked with a person who'd gone to school with a girl called Myrtle Turtle. I have never stopped loving that.

Any others?

A client yesterday was talking about his old boss, Gordon Bennett. He said it with a totally straight face so I don't even think he got why that was funny. Or I'm easily amused..
