Uncle Leroy got a job down at the broom factory.

On his first day the straw boss (floor supervisor) calls Leroy into his little office and says, "You the new man huh? What is yer name?"

Leroy replied, "Leroy."

The straw boss says, "I don't call anyone by first names. It breeds familiarity and that leads to breakdown in my authority. I refer to all employees by last names. Now what is your last name."

Leroy sort of smiles and says, "Its Darling - Leroy Darling!"

The straw boss said, "Now Leroy, the next thing........"
