Good Thing I Don't Embarrass Easy

So some of you might know that I broke my phone on Saturday, so Drunk was nice enough to over-night his old phone to me yesterday. When the UPS man tried to deliver it today I was at class so I spent a good portion of my day trying to track down my package and schedule a pick-up at a UPS location. The delivery man had left the little note on the door and I got on the website to find out where my package was all the while not paying much attention to what the paper actually said. Anyway I found out I could pick it up between 7:00 and 7:30pm at the warehouse. I got there at approximately 6:59 and the lady said the truck would be there shortly. I noticed the signs everywhere that said "have your ID ready." I got my out and was standing there looking at the notice the delivery man left because well, I had already read all the shipment pricing signs.
Upon closer inspection I notice the name on the top of the notice did not say Patten. I couldn't figure out if it was really poor handwriting or if I had grabbed something that wasn't intended for me by mistake. So I sat there for few minutes and stared at it until it dawned on me. It said Turner. I am immediately thinking if Drunk sent this to Tina Turner and they don't let me sign for it I'm going to kill him. Then I hear a small asian woman yelling "Turner? Tina Turner?" Everyone in the UPS store looked at me. I looked around and shrugged "you dress up one time..."
Then the Asian woman proceeded to continue to ask me if my name was Tina Turner (after I had given her my driver's license mind you). Finally she noticed that my name was printed under where it said Tina Turner and she let me leave in peace...

Nice one! Wish I could have seen the look on your face.

Here's what I love though - you used a code first name yet publish your last night for the whole world five sentences later.
