Subject: Off-the-church-walls - November11, 2003



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

"What's your name?" he asked the new guy.

"John," the new guy replied.

The manager scowled, "Look... I don't know where you worked before, but around here, I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that can lead to a breakdown in authority.

"I refer to all my employees by their last name only. Smith... Jones... Baker... That's all.

"And, 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."

"Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you is . . . "
