Personally, I would NEVER get tired of those jokes. I would make them myself.
Yeah, to be fair, my own name happens to be the same as an interrogative particle in a foreign language I study, and this has allowed me to make “Who’s on First”-type jokes that IMO are still amusing even several decades down the road.
However, it just feels like it’s different when we don’t know that the person with the “funny” name is sharing the enjoyment of the joke.
I can’t speak for @running_coach or @Johnny_L.A or @Joey_P, but I suspect it’s not just that Dr. Rojanasunan’s name sounds funny to an Anglophone; it’s that she’s cited in conjunction with a sex-based case.
Me too. At least my maiden name.
Gaaaah, those ruts will be there for a long, long time. Such a stupid thing to do.
A man after my own heart.
People always overestimate the capabilities of their SUVs. It’s a Law.

I was thinking you meant “O’leary”. People think that’s Swedish!? Or am I missing the reference?
Hey! Are we related?
Dr. Goosepoop
Guspeaux is pronounced “guss-poe” dammit!
I had missed that post, well played indeed.
In a similar vein, there’s a (genuine) photo doing the rounds of the Pope personally blessing the late Mr Epstein & confidante Ms Maxwell, with the caption
“Well great. Now people are going to associate the Catholic Church with pedophiles.”
I wish it were true that the drivers faced actual jail time after subsequently ignoring the instruction to wait and paying a second vehicle to get him out - which also got stuck - but I suspect the report is just referencing the theoretical possibility from the wide range of sentences applicable to this charge.
You have no idea the Hell high school was when you have a last name that is just a mispronunciation away from virgin.
We could be. My great-grandfather changed it from the original Dutch when he came to this country.
