Paging Jokes

I've always liked paging jokes, although paging has become rare in the digital age. It seems like yesterday I was walking in Stapleton Airport's cavernous terminal listening to airport pages as people hustled from concourse to concourse to make their connection. The pages usually went like this: "Paging Mr. (or Ms.) Doe, Mr. John Doe, please come to an airport information booth or white paging telephone." The joke is to get the page announcer to say a name that sounds like a term or phrase. For example, "Paging Ms. Mejit, Ms. Ima Mejit, Mr. Taychof, Mr. Dewey Taychof, Mrs. Sedilla, Mrs. Kay Sedilla..." and so on. It's a fun turn-of-phrase that anyone can do.

Here's some of the better ones we could come up with while going over neural anatomy today in homeschool:
  • Mrs. Bellem, Mrs. Sara Bellem
  • Mrs. Nal, Mrs. Audrey Nal
  • Mrs. Ella, Mrs. Pat Ella
  • Mrs. Crehas, Mrs. Pam Crehas
  • Mr. Kia, Mr. Trey Kia
  • Mrs. Emick, Mrs. Ann Emick
  • Mr. Anin, Mr. Mel Anin
  • Mr. Enha, Mr. Rhett Enha
  • Mr. Airhees, Mr. Art Airhees
