I received my new vibrator through the post today (yay!)

It came with a note from the company's customer services manager.

Do I need to grow up?

My friend worked in Immigration and had an applicant from Thailand called Mr Bumsuck. And I ran a recruitment drive once and had an application called Hayno Fokken. What was really funny was that he subtitled the sections on his CV so we had 'Fokken Education', 'Fokken Experience', 'Fokken Interest' etc.
