Hi, I’m Horny…
August 25th, 2005 -- Posted in funny | 2 Comments »A friend whom I’ve shown this site to yesterday suggested that I could post something about my little known nickname I got from our company president a few years back. I was taken aback and thought it was really embarrassing and wasn’t really funny at first. But today while thinking back how it happened, I decided that such jokes are meant to be remembered as classics hence I should pen it down as a blog post.
It all happened during the first time our president, Mr. P, being a fatherly figure to most of us working close to him, decided to bring a group of us out for a drink after work. Since it was the first time out with the biggest shot of the office for most of us, we weren’t sure if the drinks we order would clash with Mr. P’s mood for wine. In the end most of us simply order what we are most comfortable with. I ordered for myself a bottle of Guiness Stout.
TOK! TOK! TOK! What I heard and saw next was somebody knocking his finger on the wooden table to demonstrate how hard that finger sounded. This was done with all eyes in my direction and chuckles followed. Darn, was I embarrassed when I realized what that meant. Especially in front of people I just started working with for not too long.
“Man, you sure know where you ‘stand’ in here,” commented Mr. P and there were more chuckles.
“This guy has been so quiet in the office I wouldn’t have noticed him until he picked up his Guiness today. I didn’t know you were a Stout man, Allen. Now let me show you how you should introduce yourself when in a party. After so-and-so introduced themselves “Hi. I’m so-and-so…”, you’d should be holding a bottle of Guiness just like this one and say…
Hi! I’m Hornywait for reaction
... and that’s not my name.”
Laughter filled the air around the table. My face and ears turned really red, and it wasn’t due to the alcohol. I became the famous Mr. Horny overnight. And subsequently whenever we went out for drinks after hours, I never ordered Guiness in front of Mr. P again.
