This 15 year-old guy tells a father:
"Father, I just had 5 hours of sex with the most beautiful woman ever."
"Ok, then say 10 hail-Marys and 5 Rosaries."
" No, father, I am Buddhist."
"Then why are you telling me?"
"I'm telling _everyone_!"

Apologies if repeated somewhere in the previous 6606 posts.

"She was only a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still."

Or...

"She was only a rancher's daughter, but all the cow men knew 'er."

Or ...
"She was only a welder's daughter, but she had acetylene legs."

Sure you want to brag with your incapability to pronounce "ch" correctly?

Anything, including mispronouncing for the sake of a (horrible) pun.

Probably in different ways. I know (some) Spanish so I would pronounce different than many. Why? Are you meeting with Jorge on your way bach?

I'm asking since the "J" is similar to "ch". I further assume that there are many Bachs as well as many Jorges in the USA. So why doesn't the Bachs work, while the Jorges probably don't change their spanish pronunciation?
 
  • #6,623
Because in English ch is mostly pronounced as a 'k'. But the J is pronounced likeca light g.

I wonder how often it has been copied, translated via screenshot, or encoded differently for other reasons to make the quality that bad.

I don't speak German, but I think the "ch" in "Bach" is pronounced similarly to how the Scots pronounce it in "loch" or how the Welsh pronounce it in "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch".

But back to mispronouncing it in a joke:

I think that Arnold Schwarzenegger has said that, in a future film about composers, he'll be Bach.

He also did a take on Bill S's 'Omellette': 2B or not 2B .

Have you noticed that in a symphony's repertoire Bach is more Offenbach than Offenbach is Bach?

You can trace back Bach's Bachanalia to Offenbach's bachalaureate days.
