My name is NOT Earl
I have to pick up the phone a lot at work. My standard greeting of course being, "Hi. This is Duke. How can I help You?" I am then subjected to the person on the other end of the line breaking into verse "Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl. Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl." The person then invariably says, "I bet you never hear that do you?" My normal response when this happens outside of work is to state in my most sarcastic tone, "No. That is really original. I am surprised I never have."
At work, however, I have to be nice to my customers.
Let me state for the record, I hate that damn song. If you sing it at me, you are not witty or clever or remotely interesting. You will earn my ire and then most likely I will flat out ignore your presence, or hang up the phone on you.
The other thing I have no interest in is whether or not you at some point in your life had a dog named "Duke."

If it bothers you so much, you should think about using a new nickname, like Rover or Fido.
