Thomas Grey?

I am just tired enough for this to be funny.

I was struck with a random idea just now. That if my last name was Grey, I would name my son Thomas Earl. So his name would be T. Earl Grey. HOT!

I shared this with Matthew who said:

"So it would go like this
Person A: What's your name?
Person B: T. Earl Grey
Person A: Hot!"

and I said "Or the girls in school could be talking about him and say 'Isn't T. Earl Grey hot?'"

All of this while uncontrollably laughing to myself as quietly as possible. It sucks to draw that kind of attention to yourself at work, especially when the joke isn't even that funny.

Yet, I still play out in my mind someone introducing himself to Patrick Stewart as T. Earl Grey, and getting the automatic response "HOT!" Then the actor stares at the floor in shame....
