1. I used to go out with a Welsh girl that had 36DDs. It was a ridiculously long name.

My wife asked me if I was having an affair with a woman from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllatysiliogogogoch.

I said: “How can you say such a thing?”

On a beautiful summer’s day, two English tourists were driving through Wales.

At Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch they stopped for lunch and one of the tourists asked the waitress: “Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us. Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly?”

The girl leaned over and said:

“Burrr… gurrr… King.”

3. For those who don't get it ...

dd is a consonant in Welsh, considered a distinct letter from d. When doing a Welsh crossword puzzle, "dd" is put in one box, as if it were a single letter. Pronounced as "th" (voiced) as in "the" (never the voiceless "th" sound as in "thin", e.g., "bedd". A name example: Dafydd ap Gruffydd
