Hat tip to Angry Asian Man and all those who posted this on Facebook. The perfect antidote to Betty Brown. Some choice tidbits (the British guy's name is Jonathan):
"I don't know, you English with your complicated names!"
"Haven't you got a short version?"
"You're not in jolly England anymore, sipping tea and enjoying Morrison dancing!"
"Why make everyone's life difficult by giving yourself a difficult, hard-to-pronounce foreign name, huh?"
"I don't see you progressing very far in this firm with a name like that. People might see you as a troublemaker if you insist on keeping your longwinded English name!"
Some suggested names for the British fellow include "Muna," "Bunti," "Junatan," "Jantawala," and "Jalliana." The name he finally settles on is "Jogindar pal shivarama guru patimurthy."
