What's in a name

 

I had my name spelled in already so many different ways, but this one beats it all. On Monday morning when i fly out to Reading i always arrange a pick-up service since getting to the office otherwise is almost impossible.

In general there is a nice gentlemen waiting in the arrivals hall with a piece of paper with your name on, and it was no different this morning. Or maybe it was. I looked around and could not find the guy, as a last resort i called the taxi company and they friendly requested to stay on the line.

At the same moment i was standing in between the guys with all the little papers, waiting for the guy at the other end to talk to the driver. A phone rings just next to me and suddenly the guy talking next to me echoes through the phone .....  My driver was standing just next to me but with this name tag:

Toon Diependaele

One can only say: Happy travels letters of this world
