It was inevitable that we brought this up. He had a very strange affection for this word and seemed to thoroughly enjoy ridiculing us all by pronouncing it perfectly. He'd then get us to try it, to only receive a whole array of "Llainfair sdfushodfuihsdfnsd" or "LLanfiarfdjsdfisdfnsdonfoisdnfisdnfoisndfgogogoch". That was until...
"...Alright folks, I want you to all listen (huh-huh). I'm gunna tell you a delightful story [if reading aloud, try to emphasize the word delightful by giving it a 'Sylvester the Cat' pronounciation]. When I was a mere 100 year old, I fell in love with a beautiful lady from Texas. And I said, I said, 'Wifey o' mine, will you marry me?' She said yes of course but refused to discuss it to this very day. [Why, I hear you ask?] Well, my wifey can't say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Can you say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch? I can say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. But you can't say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. [A brave student chimes in by saying 'sir, I can say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch] Ah, well, I'd like to see you in my room, T1, 3.25. [why sir? he asks, mock innocence scrawled in sloppy handwriting across his face] uh...for being rude to your teacher. You must now and forever refer to me as the 'O' Great One..."
