A smile for today...

On a beautiful summer's day, two English tourists were driving through Anglesey, Wales.

At Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch they stopped for lunch, and one of the tourists asked the waitress, "Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us.”

“Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly?"

The girl leaned over and in a beautiful Welsh accent said, “Burrr ... gurrr ... King”

My wife, being French Canadian, Just asked me, with a very serious look on her face, "if that's a real place name, how is it pronounced"....."never mined", says I, just get to the bottim line!!!!!.

I'm confused, there is no Burger King at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll.... There's a Burger King is in Bangor, one train stop before Llanfairpwllgwyngyll.... So is the joke that they got lost and ended up in Bangor??

There is a sound file on there giving the correct pronunciation.

At one time, as a yougster I actually learned to pronounce Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. That ability is now long gone. Do old tongues loose agility?
