growler_southI work for a company with an unusual name.
Kaleidoscope
Now isnt that a funny name? Look at all the silly vowels, all jumbled up together. Now lets count the syllables- 1, 2, 3, 4!! FOUR syllables! thats even more complicated than wheelbarrow.
I've seen some unusual and, frankly, retarded spellings, had a few people mishear me on the phone, but we just had a parcel delivered that tops them all.
Backstory: We ordered a 250mm zoom lens (about 2 feet long ), a fisheye lens adapter, and a waterproof raincoat thingy for the DVcam.
Apparently the guy on the phone asked what we did, but before Paddy could respond he abruptly changed his mind, "Actually, no, dont tell me" he said.
Then the parcel arrived, addressed to:
Colonoscope.
