Gaylord...
At my company I think I came across 2 people with that name. I got this email today, I was cracking up. This email is supposed to be serious but as I was reading it, for some reason it just seemed like a joke...
"Hi, my name is Gaylord Huang, but you can call me Gay..."

Greater China and the Asia/Pacific Region. Please
join me in wishing Gaylord much success in his future
endeavors.

***edit*** oh yeah the other guy was a computer technician for Lucent and he used netmeeting to try to fix my laptop, so I was on the phone with the guy without knowing his name and then on the netmeeting screen his name pops up 'Gaylord' I laughed and forgot he was on the phone with me and it got very awkward from there... :roll:
