Slovenian

My name tag at work says Michael, and underneath in smaller print, Gift Shop.

Today a boisterous gentleman came in, looked at the name tag and said, "Michael Giftshop. That's an unusual name."

"Well, my father was Slovenian," I told him.

I could tell he wasn't sure what to say to that.

I could have pulled the Welsh card, but Giftshop doesn't sound Welsh.
