A manager of a large office noticed that one of the department heads hired a new employee. So he called the new hire into his office for a short orientation speech. “What is your name?” he asked.

When you talk to me, you should call me Mr. Buendia. Now that you understand, what is your last name?”
The new employee let out a sigh and said, “My last name is… Darling. John Darling.”
“Okay, John, the next thing I will tell you is about…”
