Old guy over the lane was engaged in conversation with a charity that he'd been contributing to for ages.
He's a friendly bloke, and said to the lady talking to him "Call me Alan", she replied with her name. They conducted business, he gave them dough.
15 mins later, phone rings again. Same voice, called him Alan, then started telling him about the charity that she represents.
He said "Aren't you .... that I was just talking to for ...?"
Response "No, I work for ....."
Him "Why did you call me Alan then ?"
Her "Because you told me your name."
This pensioner used to give above and beyond any reasonable call, but stopped instantly the day he realised that they thought him an easy mark, and would lie to him.
