title: Yesterday I spent my lunch
---

Yesterday I spent my lunch break painting set pieces at the theater for the [Town & Gown Players](http://www.negia.net/~tandg). The theater's phone rang, and I had the following conversation:  


> **Me:** Town & Gown  
>  **Male Voice:** Hello, Mr. Players?  
>  **Me:** Excuse me?  
>  **Male Voice:** Are you Mr. Players?  
>  **Me:** Oh! Yes... I'm he.  
>  **Male Voice:** Hello, Town, I'm Greg and I have a special offer --  
>  **Me:** Town? Oh, no. That's my lovely wife. I'm Gown Players. Thanks for calling, but the Players household isn't in a spending mood today. G'day!

I guess telemarketers see all sorts of strange names, but really... Town & Gown Players?
