An English couple were touring the States and while in Wisconsin, they came across a place named Wauwatosa.

Now this couple had no idea about how this was pronounced, having fallen foul when visiting Little Rock some time before and finding out that Arkansas is not pronounced the same as Kansas.

Spending a fair while arguing, not speaking to one another then arguing some more, they came upon a roadside eatery where they decided to grab some lunch and while they were about it, they could also settle once and for all, the pronunciation issue that had been plaguing them.

They stood at the counter and when their turn came to be served, they gave the blonde girl their order.

"I wonder could you settle something for us too? My wife and I are unsure of the pronunciation of this place and wonder if you could tell us. So if you could say it slow and clear, we'd be much obliged."

With that, the blonde girl leant forward across the counter and said "Buuuuurrrrrrgerrrrr Kiiiiiiiing."
