I’m gonna start off by saying I love Brent. This guy is definitely on my top five greatest people I have ever met list. I don’t want anyone to think I’m picking on him, or putting him down. I am not, it is pretty obvious when I pick on someone because they are usually crying, but that’s a completely different story. This story is just one of the funniest things I have ever heard in my life and I can’t not tell it. Brent’s only crime in life is being born with a lisp that makes it hard for him to pronounce his R’s. He also has the misfortune of his parents giving him a name with a prominent R in it.
Brent has also had a conversations like:
Whene did you come here? –Idiot
I think around 2:00 –Brent
No, what is your country? –Idiot
This is my country –Brent
Right, but where were you born? –Idiot
Right down the street! –Brent
You’re not foreign? –Idiot(still not catching on)
No –Brent(sighing)
The first time I met Brent he said, “Hi, I’m Blent.” “Blent.” I said as I immediately realized what I did and clamped my hand over my mouth and slowly backed away. He worked on his speech problem and you can’t even notice it, except when you hear him say his name for the first time. Some people are also really slow to catch on, if they ever do.
Brent and our friend Bryan went to the doctors together. They are gay lovers, well Bryan is gay, but Brent keeps some girls on the side so he is not totally gay. (O.K. they are not gay, but that first sentence made it sound like they were gay. And I stole that line from Kevin Smith, and I don’t want any angry letters, you gay guys and gals are awesome, it’s just funny.) Brent tells the lady at the desk, “I have an appointment for Jones.” Because he doesn’t want to go through what he’s about to go through. “First name?” The receptionist asks. “Damn it!” Is probably what he was thinking, but I’m just speculating. “Brent” he replies, but it kinda sounds like Blent. “Blent” she says.
“No, it’s Brent”- Brent
“Blent”- Receptionist
“No, Brent”- Brent
“Brad” - Receptionist
“Brent!” - Brent
“B-L-E…”- Receptionist
“B-R-E…” - Brent
“Brent, his name is Brent! Who the hell names their kid Blent?” – Bryan
They sit down to wait. “From now on, I’m Tony” Brent says.
I had a similar situation with someone not reading my handwriting correctly. I went to pick up my glasses. I asked for a pickup for Woods. “Are you Ricolas?” She replies. I asked if she’s known a lot of Ricolas’s. She said she had never met a Ricolas before, and she went back to work not having a clue what I was getting at.
