IDENTITY CRISIS

There is a story which I would much rather tell than record it as I am doing here.

A government official had to interview a few people in one of the outports. When he arrived there he went to one of the homes to make some inquiries in order to locate the people he wished to talk with. His first question was:

Interviewer: "Is there a William Porter here?"

Resident: "No zir. No William Porter 'ere zir, no William Porter."

Interviewer: "What, no Bill Porter here?"

Resident: "Oh yes, dere's a Bill Porter 'ere."

Interviewer: "How about John Kean?"

Resident: "No zir. No John Kean 'ere zir. No John Kean."

Interviewer: "What about Jack Kean?"

Resident: "Jack Kean? Jack Kean? Oh yes, sure dat's me."
