Noone

I met a man named Noone today. Seriously. His last name was Noone. I smirked when I saw his license, and tried not to make the obvious jokes. While ringing up his items, I ask him how often he'd heard the "Odysseus Joke"
"The Odysseus joke? What's that?" He asked with an amused look on his face.
"You know, when Odysseus fights the Cyclops, he tells him that his name is Noone." Truthfully, in the original story, Odysseus tells the Cyclops that his name is Nobody, but Noone works just as well for comedic purposes.
He laughed heartily. "No, no I don't think I have heard that one before. I'll have to remember it."
