A funny story heard from a friend of a friend of a friend......

Jie was employed by a foreign-funded enterprise.

On his first day at work，his immediate superior asked him:" Have you got an English name?"

"No, not yet...but if it's needed, I can get one now."

"Okay."

"How about Mike?"

"Well, there have been three Mike in this office...so.. you'd better get another one?"

So, he thought for a while and decided to have a name sounds like his Chinese name.

"In this way, I'd like Jerry."

The superior kept silent for a few seconds, then he said solemnly:
"My name is Tom."
