This one comes from a heated discussion on dog naming on another forum:
“Nice dog, Jack. What are you going to call him?”
“Well, he’s a black labrador, ain’t he? Isn’t it obvious?”
“Not really, Jack. Give us a clue.”
“Oh, come on. Ricky. Guy Gibson... You know!”
“So are you gonna call him Guy or Gibson?”
“No, no, no. I’m gonna name him after Guy Gibson’s dog. You know!”
“D’yer think that’s really a good idea, Jack?”
“Too right it is, Mate. I’m a free-born Englishman and I can call me dog whatever I like and no politically correct codswallop is gonna stop me. OK?
“Oh, right. So you know about this Guy Gibson then, do yer?”
“Gor blimey, you ain’t ‘alf fick, Ricky. He was the bloke what invented the bouncing bomb. You know... the bomb what bounced. In the war, like.”
“Oh, right. Only that wasn’t Guy Gibson, Ricky. That was Barnes Wallis.”
“What?”
“Barnes Wallis. Famous inventor of the Bouncing Bomb. Destroyed the Ruhr Dams.”
“Was it? Oh, right. But he ‘ad a dog, didn’t he?”
“I don’t think so, Ricky. He might have had a cat.”
“I can’t name me dog after a cat, can I?"
“No, Jack.”
“All right then. I’ll call him Wallis. And don’t you go tellin’ me I can’t cos I’m a free-born Englishman like what I said an’ I got the right. Right?”
“Yes, Jack”
“Right! Come on Wallis. Come to Daddy. No... come here, Wallis. No, don’t run off... Heel. HEEL. WAAAALLIIIIS!

Thanks both. The discussion on that other forum I mentioned began with our statutory online racist telling us that he does indeed intend to name his dog after Guy Gibson's. So I posted that story, and I can guarantee that he won't get the point. Still, thick as he is at least he'll have a dog to fetch him home from the boozer every night.
