what's in a name?

Today we had a meeting at work and everything was going well. We were discussing some planning for the annual picnic that our team puts on every year. Kurt is in charge of making the email invitation, so he asks for the event coordinator's name and email. She tells him her name is Michelle Knocker. For some reason I find this hilarious and I can't help but stare at her. She has actually got quite large ones. Then I look over at Kurt. He averts my gaze because we both know we would start laughing quite inappropriately. As he asks politely how to spell her name, he gets through it without cracking so much as a grin. I don't know how he pulled it off with a straight face. I would have been toast. When I looked around the meeting room, no one else seemed to find anything funny. So I dig my nails into my palms and try to be serious and remind myself that I am not in school anymore. Learning how to be corporate is sometimes difficult for me.
