Batman and Spiderman Walk Into a Bar…

So yesterday a co-worker and I were standing outside Boost juice in Woden.

Me: You know, when they ask you for your name in these places I always feel like lying outrageously. Giving them something that’s obviously not my name.
Him: Like ‘Spiderman’?
Me: Right.
Him: Do you think they’d even notice? Or are they such apathetic corporate drones that they wouldn’t even mention it. “Spiderman? Double mocha latte for Spiderman. Spiderman?”

And today we had to sign into the guest register at our boss’ farewell lunch. Thus did Batman and Spiderman go undercover at the Vikings club.

‘Spiderman’: I think we’ve just technically committed fraud.
‘Batman’: Spiderman doesn’t commit fraud!

That’s the most hilarious running gag I’ve had for the last two days. Yeah, I need to get out more.

Here, have a comic:

   xD Actually I found that hilarious (and gutsy) too! If I was working in one of those Boost Juice places, I’d appreciate some humour in my mundane job. I’d love to say “Spiderman? Double mocha latte for Spiderman”! I’d rather serve Spiderman than Batman though… though Batman might leave a more generous tip.

     My mum hates giving her first name at places like that. She says, “They don’t know me! Why are they asking for my first name!” and gets them to call her ‘Mrs. [Our Surname]‘.

     I told that to co-worker-Spidey and he said that it would be a toss-up next time he was at Boost or Starbucks or wherever on whether he’d get them to call him Spiderman or my mum’s name. We weren’t sure which would bring more lulz. Batman suggests a double-blind controlled trial is in order.

       Call me nerdy but it makes ma all warm inside when people talk about double-blind controlled studies in casual conversations. Oh and Batman. That’s always a plus.

         Mum worked in the health department for a long time. Double-blind controlled trials were kind of a running inside joke. ^^”
