What’s in a Name?

“Recession”, “credit crunch”, “economic doom and gloom”, it’s only January and already we’re bored of these buzz words. We guess you’re pretty much the same so we thought we’d lighten the mood with a travel tale courtesy of Tourism Review:
“Two tourists were on the trip of a lifetime, driving through Wisconsin in their rental car. As they approached Oconomowoc they began fighting over the correct pronunciation of the town’s name. The argument continued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the blonde employee: “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you tell us how to pronounce the name of where we are correctly?” Pointing to the sign, the waitress said, “Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrrr, Kiiiing.”
