Korean Craig

I was out for Korean food last night and someone mentioned my boyfriend by name. Upon overhearing it the waitress said, "Your name is Craig." When he replied in the affirmative, she just giggled.

When we left, she was all, "Bye, CRAIG!" More giggles.

Certainly the most interesting part of the evening, but we were all at a loss as to why she might have found his name so funny, beyond her personal psychoses.

Any guesses? We didn't know if there was some crazy Korean pun going on or if she just loved some dork named Craig once.
