I blame the person who designed the form if it did not specify eg the first and last _names_ of the NOK.
Anyhow, could have been worse: eg "my Wensleydale".

I didn't recognise that as a dog breed.
Then I googled it and found it wasn't.

Bit of a cheesey reply then. I hated those forms when you started a job. There was an extremely high temptation to misinterpret things.
Qualifications always made me laugh as I have no formal ones at all, and they often simply could not understand why I could do the job better than their chinless graduate with a million 'ologies' to their name. I tended to put common sense A in the University of life. Brian

I filled in one a couple of years ago. It had one line for phone number. I have five, and that is not including a mobile.
There was also no space for including the mandatory "calls cost 5p + access fee" to comply with Ofcom regulations.

My dad was disappointed that he could not join the IEEE because of lack of qualifications - he was on a number of (and chairing some) BSI committees at the time!

I think nowadays the age has to be reduced to make the joke funnier.
Thixteen year olds probably have two kids now.

I was a member of the IEEE once, they have pretty mags and it was free.
I did look at joining the IEE but I felt insulted that they wanted me to answer two questions on their exam papers when they usually wanted more.
So they were saying I knew more than their usual applicants but not enough.
There wasn't any real advantage of joining anyway.
