Alias
We went bouncing around last night, first stop TGIFridays. Normally I hate the franchise-type bars but we were thinking of seeing a movie and Fridays is right next door so there we were. It was Saturday night and it was crowded, so the hostess called people's names over the PA when their tables became available. I had the plan to put a funny name on the list and when she read it out we'd get a good laugh, but I knew I couldn't do it with a straight face. Also, the fact that I was already at the bar would make it way too suspicious when I walked over to her and asked for a table for "McPooperson."
I decided to call. She told me over the phone that she couldn't take any reservations, but I pushed it and said that I was already in the mall and walking over and couldn't she just add my name to the bottom of the list? She went for it and said, "Name?"
"McPooperson."
"Uhhh... Could you spell that?"
Now I'm laughing really hard but silently, so there's too long of a pause in the conversation. I'm blowing it.
"M C..."
More silent laughing.
Then she goes, "Wait, are you already here at the bar?"
Then I couldn't hold it in any more, I started laughing out loud and I had to just hang up the phone. The jig was up, I blew it.

That’s funny! I wish I could've been there to witness it. I'm sure I would've been laughing equally hard (actually I know I would've because I was laughing just reading about it).
BTW...that really sucks about the Trade Center ID.
