In eighth grade we were picking roles for a reading of A Midsummernight's Dream in English class. It has a lot of names like this, so my friend put his hand up and said:

"I wanna be Testicles!"

The teacher was laughing so hard we didn't get anything done for the rest of the class.

I saw a boat the other day called Penelope (but said like 'antelope').

Maybe! I dont know if the boat's name is supposed to be pronounced "Pen-eh-lope" or if it is - literally - "Pen-el-oh-pee but said like ant-eh-lope".

Utter mindfuck.
