"Sir. The reason I'm calling is to ask you for your phone number."

Lilly Tomlin on 'Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In', "Have I reached the party to whom I'm speaking?"

BTW, my spell checker tried to replace 'Laugh-In' with 'Larkin'.

ROFLOL.

I see that I'm not the only one who's tried to get help on a network outage from Earthlink tech support. :-)

"Oh, you still can't connect? It looks like you need to reinstall internet explorer. You can download it from ..."

Did you add me to your dictionary?

Actually, "Larkin" is an occupation-derived name, like Baker or Fletcher. It means something like woodsman or groundskeeper.

Richard means "brave", and Henry means "ruler".

I don't see any problem with that.

It's one who goes on frivolous or whimsical flights of fancy: "A-larkin' we will go, a-larkin' we will go, heigh-ho, the dairy-o, a-larkin' we will go." ;-)

Cheers! Rich

I guess if it were pronounced "grease", that could be construed as making some sense in some people's universe. ;-)

Know any songs about the grist mill? ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Hmm. Mine tries to replace Larkin with Lurking.

Apparently Lurkin & Luckin are variations of Larkin.

Consider also John "Scatman" Larkin, the late stuttering jazz singer:

Well, if you look up Hill in an encyclopedia, it turns out to mean "pile of dirt", which is pretty funny too.

John

Extraordinarily good fit ;-)
