Showing Original Post only (View all)Best Welsh joke I ever heard. [View all]
There was a woman from Wales at a community breakfast that my wife helped organize this morning. She told me great story.
An American tourist couple was traveling through Wales and stopped off at a fast food place for a quick lunch. They were in the famed Welsh village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. She and her husband ordered their burgers and fries, and the salesgirl asked if there was anything else she could do for them. The wife said, yes, actually. Would she please pronounce, very slowly, the name of the place in which they found themselves. The sales girl smiled sweetly and said "sure, it is pronounced "BUR - GER- KING."
