Here's a good joke I heard about tourists trying to pronounce Oconomowoc ... ---------------------
Two tourists were driving through Wisconsin. As they were approaching Oconomowoc, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town's name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch.
As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the waitress. "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, Kiiiing."
