As a couple cruised through Florida, they decided to stop at the next town. They read the sign: “Kissimmee.”
Naturally, a heated debate ensued over the correct pronunciation.
The husband confidently declared, “It’s KISS-a-me.”
The wife rolled her eyes. “No way, it’s kis-a-ME.”
Trying to play peacemaker, the husband suggested, “Maybe it’s Kis-a-me.”
Still bickering, they pulled into a Burger King for some much-needed sustenance. After parking, they shuffled inside and ordered.
Seated at their table, the husband had a lightbulb moment. When the waitress approached, he leaned in and asked, “Excuse me, we’re having a little disagreement here. Could you please tell us how to pronounce the name of this place? And say it slowly.”
With a grin, the waitress replied, “Sure. It’s Buuuurrrggerr Kiiiinnnggg.”
The couple burst into laughter, realizing they’d been outsmarted by the waitress.
