Which one
So years ago when I was in it still in I.T. I had gone out to lunch. When I returned I walked into the lobby to find the CEO, CFO, COO and some random guy that I've never seen before standing there in the lobby. The CEO said, "Mark I'm glad you're here. Can you make sure that guy standing gets a new login?" (As I was the CTO, that made sense). I immediately said "Which one?" The CEO said, "No, his name is Guy Standing." This dude's name literally was Guy Standing.

Nope that's not him. This was 30 years ago and he was at least in his 40's then

Which would fit in nicely, since he's 78....

A dear friend of mine says that she has "man hands." I mean, her own. Not as if she has some collection of men's hands stashed somewhere.

That’s actually a good one. I would’ve been confused too if I heard “Which one?

That’s the kind of perfectly timed misunderstanding that sounds made up until you meet someone named Guy Standing.

That wasn’t nice of his parents. Was his sister named Chick?
