** That is trumped by the phrase “[http://notalwaysright.com/even-owners-have-a-stupid-quota/453 I am] ''[http://notalwaysright.com/even-owners-have-a-stupid-quota-part-2/675 the owner]''” though.
* Tends to happen a lot when someone asks for a [[Transsexualism|transsexual]] person's old name.
* There's an Italian joke subverting this trope: Jesus walks along the street when he sees a sad old man sitting on a bench. He stops and asks him what his name is and why he is sad.

** [[Bilingual Bonus|Gepetto is an Italian diminuitive for Giuseppe - Joseph.]]
