Oh, tee hee! That's so wonderfully clever! I'll bet nobody has even made jokes by badly mispronouncing anyone else's surname and getting wrong the number of syllables. It's a rare, sophisticated, and mature form of humour -- even more brilliant than your side-splitting reference to "ass-u-mes" -- that I will certainly hope to see more often. Gee thanks, Ashton, you've brightened my day with this amazing scintillation of wit.
If I still gave a fsck, I could ask you, "OK then, twinkie, so do you really care about the answer to that question, even in as much as it might suggest what OSes the various Web browsers are running under? Why?"
But I confess that I no longer care.

Ah, this assumes that lame mispronunciations of a correspendent's name based on failing to grasp its syllables count is funny, I imagine. Since (hypothetically) you actually do think that, I have some really terrific news for you: Once you're done with the surname jokes, bathroom humour, and elephant jokes, much, much better stuff beckons.
For the benefit of any other aging grade-schoolers out there, my surname has two syllables; rhymes with Bowen.

I sincerely hope not: It would be highly schizophrenic for me to have laughed at those driven by someone else's sense of humour. No, as far as I can tell, it was absolutely my sense of humour alone that was making me laugh as I read those.
In any event, psychological freak shows aside, you seemed to have been asking what was quality humour that you might enjoy once you outgrew dribble glasses and fart jokes. So, I provided.
Now, if you would also -- as a change of subject, in effect -- like for some mysterious reason to see something written by me (which reason I hope is something better than zIWETHEY interpersonal soap opera) -- [link|http://linuxmafia.com/pub/humour/a-man-of-letters.html|I] [link|http://linuxmafia.com/pub/humour/keyboard-failure|can] provide.

..why, my Moen\ufffd faucet sounds
a lot like yours! This, ever since its allen set-screw rusted itself into place - because Moen\ufffd was too cheap to pay an extra 3\ufffd for a stainless one:
It goes drip .. drip .. drip into an old cottage cheese tub .. as it waits for me to eventually saw the top off the sucker and find a Non-Moen\ufffd non-drippy replacement.
I gather that Dudgeonmeter Set=High is the default for smarmy hyper-Moen self-congratulatory Tastefulness, but it seems to have the same quality of sound as
My other Moen\ufffd.
Yours for a better digital-grade of aqueous humour,

Your attitude is patently impatient. One would think you were the denizen of a mental ward... by the way, how are those flowers I sent? The impatiens...? Expensive flowers, incidentally. You wouldn't believe the bill I had to pay... shunt your thanks this way, please.
No point here. Sorry to say your patience hasn't been rewarded.

Actual story
Emergency room prior to wedding (long story)...however...on my chart in very big letters... BILL PATIENT... to which the doctor, on first look, said ..."ok but what's the patient's name."
Also, radio handle...Doctor Bill Patient...didn't quite carry the same schtick as Dr Johnny Fever...but the GM liked the double entendre. (yes...I did radio under my real name) Doctor Bill (obvious): Dr Patient...who has a great relationship to himself...etc....
