"Dave"? "Dave"?! For the love of God, why "Dave"!?!
So am I, which is weird as I have a pretty good memory. Any theories on this?
Mine is that I just don't give ****.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
This morning I get a call on my work cellphone -- direct call in, not something patched through by the switchboard -- from a number I don't recognize. And thus this conversation begins:
"Rufus T. Firefly, U.S. Embassy."
"Hello? Hello?"
"Yes, this is Rufus T. Firefly at the U.S. Embassy. Can I help you?"
"Yes, this is Mr. David?"
"No, I'm sorry, you must have the wrong number."
"This is the U.S. Embassy?"
"Yes."
"Then yes, you are who I want to talk to."
Things to note:
1) In Singapore, "Mr. + First name" is the common construction, so the caller was definitely looking for someone named Dave.
2) There is no one named Dave (or with the surname David) at the US embassy.
3) The person who had my work phone before me was named "Susan."
4) They caller really was looking for me.
Make. It. Stop.

It's probably just that Rufus T. Firefly means "The one we all call Dave to annoy the hell out of him" in Singapore and elsewhere
Look Rufus, you silly git. This is a sign that you need to change your name. Names are only conventions anyway, and it is clear that the rest of the world has chosen "Dave". You can't have a convention of one, so you lose.
I hereby petition the mods to change his nick to David D Davidfly.
Rufus, you got to make people think of someone else.
My first name is Sean so I always tell people it's spelled like Sean Connery, and that seems to work.

everyone who calls you dave/david is just trying to drive you insane. you think they don't all know each other but they do. they planned this a long time ago in that secret meeting. when you get really old and start forgetting stuff YOU are going to think you are dave. you're letting them win.
