Holy Smokes! John! Sorry! Totally forgot you're on the list! I was just looking for a generic name, er... um,...OH! Hell! Doesn't matter how I try to say it, this is going to come out wrong. Probably should have used John Doe?
Apologies John! It was a total coincidence! Really! Damn! Am I feeling like a dweeb or what ? My Bad. Yup! Lanman pulled a Boo Boo! Well, if you're going to screw up,.....might as well be a good one!
