An amusing dream involving puns.

Apparently I'm such a cool person that even my dreams can be full of brilliant puns. Take this example from last night...

I was working at the front desk at my job. This happens in real life occasionally, specifically when one of the receptionists needs to take a quick break. In walked a teenage boy, African American (which is important to the story, of course), who was looking for his mom.

"She works here. Her name is Ada Blackwell." At least that's what I think he said. He tended to mumble, so I wasn't positive.

"We don't have anyone here with that name," I replied. "What was the name again?"

"I'll write it down for you," he said. I handed him a pen and he wrote something indistinct in illegible cursive.

"Blackwell? Is that right?"

"Yes, black male," he answered.

"Blackmail?!" I was confused. "You're trying to blackmail someone?"

"Black male," he said again, nodding.

I finally figured out that he was referring to himself and not an illegal scheme to defraud somebody. "Is the last name Blackwell?"

He nodded.

Just then one of the real receptionists returned and was immediately able to help the young lad out.

I'm just glad there weren't more rhymes/puns to confuse me even worse. Black shell? Crack smell? Stack fell? I would go insane......
