Couple was traveling through Florida and stopped in the town of Kissimmee for lunch. They were lightly arguing about how to pronounce the name of the town (KISS a me / ka SEEM ee) as they finished up lunch so the man asked the cashier, "Young man, how do you pronounce the name of this place?"

Not as bad as an entire country named "the village"

And it's so much harder to memorize.
