"Dave"? "Dave"?! For the love of God, why "Dave"!?!

You're their wife now dave.

Oh, this thread again....


I'll just say one thing: "David" is a terrible name to have when you're 6'5''.

[FrustratedPoet]

Mostly only if you're Jewish, I'd imagine.

I know a couple of really tall guys called Dave and I've never heard anyone make that joke before. It had never occured to me either, and I'm usually good at making really awful jokes that annoy everybody.

That's your true name ala Tales from Earthsea.

The first thing to come up if you google "Dave".

Any ties to this Rufus? (just checkin')

Curses! This means he's not bound by any constitutional provision, statute, regulation, rule, ordinance, common sense or even self interest.

That's right! I'm bound only by the Prime Directive: Move the Paper to Someone Else's Desk.

Dave T. Firefly.. doesn't sound bad. You should stop calling yourself John. Simply accept that your name is Dave.

Hate to admit it but yeah, you're dead right about this one.

I'm terrible with names. And birthdays, but the names are a pain, you can always send the present early or sneak a peak in her wallet when you know it's getting close. The names are another problem.

So what do you do the morning after a hot date? Women have absolutely NO sense of humor if you transpose names. It's not the nuclear option, it's the thermo-nuclear option when you do that. My solution? "Honey", "dear" (you save that when you suddenly cannot remember her name after several months - humongous no-no), "sexy" (as in good-morning sexy, or good-lookin, etc.), "beautiful" also works very well. Usually in the interim between waking up, and breakfast, you can find something with their name on it, and the brain fart terminates at that point. Just thought I'd let Dave know about it.

Right. So if random coworkers begin calling me "beautiful," I'll know who to blame...
