Welshman not to pronounce Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
Could even a Welshman pronounce that ?

Not to mention Culzean Castle, Milngavie and Cowpen in Northumberland..
Then I'll toss a curve ball your way with Culzean's desolate architectural sibling, Dalquharran Castle. Oh what a nasty chap I can be...

We used to visit that part of Scotland a lot when I was young but didn't know Dalquharran Castle existed.

As I've suggested earlier, eventually we'll all have a bar code tattooed on our forearm soon after birth. That will serve everything = our SS number, our bank account #, our driver's license #, our Selective Service #, our credit card # = just hold it up to the scanner at checkout or up to the camera above the monitor when ordering on line and payment is electronically transferred from your virtual bank account to theirs. A thief can only get your money by skinning you alive.
Is that why some are heavily tattooed all over? Must be camouflage.

Probably to confuse and discourage hackers.

. . . . . . or defy a Welshman not to pronounce Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
I defied Google Translate to pronounce it.

Go here to listen.

Close to how I say it. They have the r sound mashed into the s, and inflect the t for the second syllable.

I've come to realise you don't like it when threads derail!

Here ya go:

Therapist: “Your wife says you never buy her flowers.”
Me: “To be honest, I never knew she sold flowers.

------

A young man, hired by a supermarket, reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, "your first job will be to sweep out the store."

"But I'm a college graduate," the young man replied indignantly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," said the manager. "Here, give me the broom, I'll show you how."

The other day I met a good friend of mine who is a genetic engineer. He was happy to tell me of his job. His latest project is the splicing of DNA from different species of birds.

First he combined the DNA from a pheasant and a hen. It worked! He called it a "Phen."

Next he successfully combined a pheasant and a goose. He called it a "Phoose."

Yesterday, he explained, he finally was able to mix a pheasant and a duck.

He called it... "Charlie."

And, just for fun, my all time favourite joke:

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.

ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?

WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

A big mining company recently hired several cannibals. 'You are all part of our team now', said the HR manager during the welcoming briefing. 'You get all the usual benefits and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but please don't eat any of the other employees'.

The cannibals promised they would not.

Four weeks later their boss remarked, 'You're all working very hard, and I'm satisfied with you. However, one of our Admin staff has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to her?'

The cannibals all shook their heads indicating 'no'.

After the boss had left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others, 'Which one of you idiots ate the Admin person?'

A hand rose hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals continued, 'You fool!!!!! For four weeks we've been eating Managers and Supervisors and no one noticed anything, but noooooo, you had to go and eat someone important!!!!"
