2) Ever forget somebody's name? Do the following:
PERSON A: "Hi there Bob, how are you?"
PERSON B: "Sorry what is your name again?"
PERSON A: "My name is George. How come you forgot?"
[HERE COMES THE CLEVER BIT!]
PERSON B: "No George, of course I know your name. I meant your surname..."
------------------------------
People aren't bothered if you cannot recall their surname. Particularly since - in alot of cases - they will have never mentioned it before, in any case.
