The Luck of the Irish
When I was in the military, I would answer the phone in my shop with an Irish accent. Note; to real Irish people, yes, I sound like a plastic paddie. However, voices and impressions are one of the things I’m pretty good at overall, so I had people outside my unit convinced I was Irish.
My last name is an Irish one, so it helped. This lasted for well over a year, until I was gone for a week on vacation and someone called up and then asked for the Irish airman. “We don’t have an Irish airman.” “Yeah you do, Airman Etwasred!” “… He’s as much Irish as Bud Light.”
I didn’t -quite- get punished for it, but I got a talking to over it. My boss couldn’t keep a straight face though, and ended up making me go through some of my sillier voices instead of actually counsel me. Story credit: Reddit / etwasred
