Back From Wales ......
Stopped at place called
'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysil iogogoch' and we tried to pronounce the name, it ended up in a debate about who was right.
We stopped there for lunch, so, I 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 said, “Burrr ....... gurrr ......... king.”

Aha - got it now!
The waitress was too thick to realise that she was actually working in McDonalds and not Burger King?
BTW, i think that 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysil iogogoch' is spelt incorrectly, because when searched for it on the Interweb (after removing the space character) i only got hits of other people telling the same joke!

I got...
Did you mean: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch
This Welsh town actually exists and its name translates as "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave, next to BurgerKing".
