The Taming of the GoatSo I'm at work today and I had to make a phone call to the Malvern Office and I had to speak to someone named Judy Fink. So in the middle of the conversation I connect the last name of the woman I am talking to to someone that Cerpts works with and also a fellow blogger over at Finks Mom The Blog (see links list for the blog). Here is how the conversation sort of went:
Me - Hey I just realized your last name is Fink. Do you have a son in his mid twenties?
Ms. Fink - Yes I do, why do you know him?
Me - Well I might. I don't know.
Ms. Fink - What's your friends first name?
Me - (after a few second pause when I realized I don't know Fink's first name cause I know him as Fink!) Actually I don't know his first name I only know him as Fink. But my friend works with him and we go to his blog all the time.
Ms. Fink - Oh, he has a blog? What's the name of the blog? Maybe I'll have to check it out.
Me - (after realizing I know his blog as "Fink's Mom The Blog" and that Fink supposedly doesn't like his mom very much, and maybe I shouldn't tell this woman all of this regardless if she is Fink's mom or not!) You know what, I don't really know what it's called I just click a link and go there. But he really likes Dave Matthews does your son like Dave Matthews?
Ms. Fink - You don't know his name and you don't know the title of the blog but you say you know my son? I don't think you know my son. (she sounded a little mean at the end there!)
Me - Just the same last name I guess, maybe he's not your son. Sorry, I didn't mean to get side tracked.
To which the conversation went back to the original purpose of my phone call in the first place and it occurred to me after the phone call, that; no I don't know Fink's first name, it might be Mike, but he's Fink, that's how I know him. Quite possibly this was Fink's mom and now I know why he doesn't like her, she seemed kinda bitchy to me. You can't make this kind of shit up!
