#2 is on a roll

A couple of nights ago #2 had me in stitches with some conspiratorial (is that seriously a word of which spell check approves?) whispers about a new guy in his department.
Tonight, he was not trying to entertain me, but I definitely had a bit of a laugh at his expense...
Probably a month or so ago, someone in the lab had asked him a question which he needed to ask his supervisor about. He refused to page said supervisor because he didn't know how to pronounce the supervisor's last name. We told him how to pronounce it, but he just said, "I can't say it. I don't want to page him." so someone else did it.
I have never heard him page a supervisor until tonight. There is a different supervisor in his department now than there was a month or so ago. His last name is perhaps easier to pronounce, though neither of them is particularly difficult.
#2 paged his supervisor today using only his first name.

Something about that just cracked me up.
