Sign Here Please 'Mr Dick Head'

A bank has apologised to a customer after sending him a debit card bearing the name "Dick Head".NatWest said it had launched an inquiry after Chris Lancaster, 18, of Tiptree, Essex, received a cash card with the wording: "Mr C Lancaster Dick Head".Mr Lancaster said he did not spot the insult until he was handing over the card in a supermarket to pay for something a few days after it arrived in the post.

"I couldn't believe it," he said.

"When I got the card out I saw the name embossed on it. I was so embarrassed I put it back in my wallet.

"I know I've been overdrawn a few times but I've done nothing to deserve this.

"The bank said it must have been a worker with a grudge"

A NatWest spokesman said: "We have apologised unreservedly to Mr Lancaster.

"This is completely unacceptable and we have launched an investigation."

I wonder if he really is that much of a dick.

When I worked as a concierge I always had a problem keeping a straight face whenever I had to phone up and announce that "Mr. Dick is here to see you." Dude used to show up at least a couple of times a week.

You ever use that line with the ladies? If she protests, you follow it with "But he has an appointment!"

A buddy of mine in college once actually went with "Come here... I have something to show you (zzzipp)" and got shot down of course.

Actually, what happened was, the very next card to be printed belonged to a Mr. Richard C. Head, and that's the way he wanted his name printed on the card. We just forgot to put in a CR-LF.

Used to work with a guy named Richard Wiener and I guess he accepted fate when he chose to go by Dick.

Is this story the result of one of Colin's banking gigs?

My dog's name is Dick.

Dunno what his last name is, though.

As a former bank employee I wholeheartedly approve of this.

I went to school with a guy named Harry Richards. EDIT: I think Shell has confused me with Darrin.

I did. I don't even remember writing that. Shit, my brain can't be failing now--classes start in a few weeks. Apologies all round. Now I'll never have Darrin's kids.
