Smile of the week!

As I nearly lost control of my car laughing this morning, I really thought the funniest thing I’d hear for a long time would be William Shatner (on the Stern show) repeatedly and helplessly mispronouncing Binghamton (where he’s doing some charity paintball event) as “Bing-ing-tum,” and being unable to correct it even when told how to say it. And then being challenged on it because the event was actually in New Milford, which is obviously much easier to say, but no one would know where it is. (In fact, it’s in Pennsylvania, quite some distance from Bingingtum.)

But that was before I heard a prank caller, posing as Ricardo Montalban, call up George Takei of Star Trek semi-fame. And hearing George answer as if Ricardo Montalban called him all the time, and give “Ricardo” the whole story of his upcoming Star Trek cruise, and his beautiful dog, etc., and finally catching on that perhaps it wasn’t Ricardo Montalban who was calling and proposing that they pick up hookers together…
