That sounds very familiar..

Ladies and gentlemen, Randy Boehning has been[^]
Is the name Randy as amusing to USians, or even the rest of the world, as it is to us in the UK?

We were visited by a BigWig from the US Head office, you should have seen his face when someone (another senior UK manager) asked him if he could "bum a fag"*
- for those that don't know this is/was UK slang for borrowing a cigarette and not something offensive

Yes, I used to share a house with a lad from East London who would ask if he could "bum a fag off you" to which I always replied "no you may not, but you can have a cigarette".

Was that a deliberate attempt to explode the PHBs head?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

No that was when he told us he was going to fire the person who had just made cockup (a minor one at that) and demanded to know who it was and everyone put their hand up (you know like Life of Brian)
that was another look I wish I had on film

Too bad. In your shoes I'd almost be tempted to take up smoking just for the opportunity to troll clueless Americans like that every time I met one.

I'd say "epitome" if it wasn't for the fact it is wrong

Correct. It's wrong

I"m lost! Having wasted 2 hours looking for words with 'eg' in them.

Sorry - I really thought this was easy.

I'd say epitome if epi meant writing and was 4 letters

It's not epitome.
It's a lot simpler than people think, I think.

Got it, but only because I did a reverse dictionary lookup thing.
You're right, it was simple.

I was getting nowhere so thought to myself why isn't there like a reverse dictionary where you can put in a definition and get a list of words that match it, so I googled SearchLottoed and there is.
Typed in perfect example and got a list of answers, the solution was about half way through.
I'm not at work Monday, if no-one answers by 1 I'll put the solution, but then it'll have to be Tuesday before I post the next.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
