The old joke of making somebody read complex names out loud in an airport, which actually means something very different, (still funny)
Found this joke in an very old mail...
This is an absolute classic.
you must read the story first. Its a bit complicated the story, but basically
they wait for a flight from a far away place and then write down names to
give to the announcer at the airport and then go near a speaker and record
what they say
This is his story.....
"We'd go and sit on the balcony at Terminal 3 at Heathrow,
directly under one of the speakers as the roof is low. We put the tape
machine in our bag with the microphone poking out of the top.
We'd look for a flight that'd arrived in the last 40 minutes from
somewhere where you'd expect mental names, then write a
letter saying
"Could you go and pick up etc. etc. from flight, etc". That way,
it looked like it'd been arranged in advance as the flight arrival details
were written on the note. We also wore an ID-style badge and carried a
mobile so that we looked like taxi drivers. One of us would get the first
one read out and then the other did the second. We'd pretend to be unable to
pronounce it and then hand them the bit of paper with the name written on
it.
Long winded, but well worth it!
These are the names written down:
1. Arheddis Varkenjaab and Aywellbe Fayed
2. Arhevbin Fayed and Bybeiev Rhibodie
3. Aynayda Pizaqvick and Malexa Kriest
4. Awul Dasfilshabeda and Nowaynayda Zheet
5. Makollig Jezvahted and Levdaroum DeBahzted
6. Steelaygot Maowenbach and Tuka Piziniztee "
And this is what they sound like:
1. "I hate this fucking job, and I will be fired."
2. "I've just been fired, and bye-bye everybody."
3. "I need a piss quick, and my legs are crossed."
4. "Oo-ah, that's better and now I need a shit."
5. "My colleague just farted, and left the room, the bastard."
6. "Still, I got my own back and took a piss in his tea."
We got rumbled doing the "My colleague just, etc". They actually
threatened to arrest us as apparently they'd actually had complaints over
the previous weeks! We were toying with doing it again just to see what
they'd arrest us for, but we rang Chris and all he said was, "go to
Gatwick!". This is the reason the last one sounds so crap 'cos Gatwick is a
much noisier place and the ceilings are high, and it was difficult to get
near a speaker. The lengths we had to go to..."
