One for all you Welsh members
« on: July 28, 2008, 06:59:30 AM »
Three tourists were driving through Wales. As they were approaching Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the towns name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter one said to the assistant, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are... very slowly?"

The girl leaned over the counter and said: "Burrrrrr, gerrrrrr, Kiiiiiing."

I had this experience in a Bob Evans restaurant in Wapakoneta, Ohio.  I wish that the waiter was playing an old joke on an out-of-town customer, but he wasn't.  Needless to say, I'll always remember how to pronounce B-o-b E-v-a-n-s.
