Oh no, composer puns are Bach again. There must be a Liszt of them somewhere.dextercioby said:

This ain't a list. It is a sad revelation that English native speakers are so ignorant that they never even try to correctly pronounce other people's names.DrGreg said:

No matter how you pronounce a composer's name, there will be some village in Britain where the pun intended is the accepted pronunciation. Indeed, I like to guess the county or region in which the pun originated.fresh_42 said:

I am sick of Haydn, Bach, etc. jokes. I had to read three of them just today. We do not speak about Troomp, Beeden, Toucher, or Yonsohn either. Why can't English speakers at least try? Start with Italian names, then French, and then German ones.Baluncore said:
And Bach doesn't even remotely sound like back.

I see no height limit sign, which suggests it was not unduly low.
Maybe it was bent by the wind, sufficiently to foul the load.
Maybe the load was over height, because the driver had kangaroos in his top paddock.
