Hoping that this will provide some quick postings, quick reading, and light relief...
Some time ago, I read that a new business is California (where else?) had unusual names for its conference rooms, so that when someone got a call, the receptionist could say that So-and-so's in---.
I think mine might be named --consistent. Others?

A family friend had a cruising ship called Business - his secretary would inform callers "Mr X is away on Business" without batting an eyelid.

-dustrial...Ooh! How 'bout naming the conf. room "Dustrious"??? Then the receptionist could say, "Mr. Sieber is in Dustrious". And the caller could say, "Well, yes, I know, but is he in, please?" And the whole thing would start all over!
