The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and
told him to come into his office.

"What is your name?" was the first thing the manager asked
the new guy.

"John," the new guy replied.

The manager scowled, "Look... I don't know what kind of a
mamby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don't call anyone
by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a
breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last
name only... Smith, Jones, Baker... that's all. I am to be
referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that
straight, what is your last name?"

The new guy sighed, "Darling. My name is John Darling."
