First, check out the author's surname, then read the review comments!!!

[Steve_Perry]

Hehe

Good one!

I presume he's American as they usually have no idea about that particular word.

S.

 

[RichardM]

made all the more funny by the yanks having no idea what it means!

 

[Flyer]

Oh dear ... that's hilarious

Definitely a "coffe meets keyboard moment" ...

I bet when he meets people, he says "My name is Vank, with a W"

Did you check out his other books? One of the others is:

Sex, Freud and Folly: The Truth About Psychotherapy

 

[Alps]

tops!

 

[PJH]

Did the author have a very distant Japanesse relative who designed rotary engines?

 

[pluggers]

With a name like that i'd shoot myself

We have a guy in one of our US offices whose name is "Chip ****".

And to this day I still chuckle.

Not that it causes any form of merriment or sniggering or hilarity of any description within the confines of our office. Oh no, not at all.

Well, ok, maybe a little.

Ok ok - we all laugh.

I'm just glad I've never met him ....

We also have a John-Paul Jones, whom I have met, and he said he was REALLY pee'd off with all the Led Zep references.

One of the suppliers that I had to deal with had an employee (again over the pond) who was called... Nookie Chitafong (I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling but that's how their name was pronounced).

There is a journalist who writes for my town's local paper, he's called "Wayne Anchors"

My old man had a guy on work experience for him years ago called (seriously!) Jesus Christ Mercedes-Benz.

Those were his first names - his surname was something like "Price" LOL
