The house phone just rang and caller id said it was Jennifer Lopez. Uh, huh. Sure it is.  So I hit the 'send to voicemail' button on the phone, thinking the phone scammers had a new angle. Immediately afterwards my cell phone rang, same number and name. Odd, but since few people have my cell number I thought I'd answer. Glad I did. It was the receptionist at my hair salon, calling to confirm my appointment tomorrow!   I knew her name was Jennifer, just never knew her last name. So now I can tell everyone I talked to Jennifer Lopez today!  She must have a heck of a time with that name. Then again, maybe she gets great seats when calling for reservations! |

I’m guessing that’s more of a curse than a benefit 🙂

Funny. I got a call from someone and it said "White, Guy". At least I had a description of who was calling me.

Good one! Years ago when DD#2 was in HS, one of her color guard coaches was named "Jesus" (as in the Latino pronunciation). All the girls on the GC team wanted his cell phone number in their phones so they could have their phone saying "Jesus calling", LOL. |

When we moved to CA, DS was in second grade and there was a boy named "Heyzeus" in his class. He thought it was odd that the teacher included "Jesus" on the birthday bulletin board as a December birthday but just assumed she was really religious. It was a few months before he connected the dots. |

I was house sitting and called a friend from the landline (this may have been early or pre-cell phone) it popped on his ID as David Roth. The friend really wanted the guy's middle name to be Lee.
