Fair enough Nat, but my post specifically prefaced this by saying NOT in reality. This isnt reality, whatever some folks would like you to think.

And if someone introduced themselves to me as Buck Futter on the street I would say shaking his hand, "Hello Mr Futter. Pleased to meet you." I would not get the anagram immediately in real time. I would assume his real name was Futter, and probably wouldn't get the joke until later. Thats Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) at work there Nat. That is exactly how it works in real time when you have the audio not the visual to depend on. You would not "see" Buck Futter when it was spoken to you, and Buck is a very real name, so the programming would take over at that point.
