Funny Words
I was reading through a few documents and I know this is childish but I saw a word and had to laugh. Oligopoly, which I looked up on dictionary.com (the best friend of the vocabularily challenged - yes I made it up! :-) and it means:
A market condition in which sellers are so few that the actions of any one of them will materially affect price and have a measurable impact on competitors.
You see not a very intersting word, unless you say it out loud - I laughed.... uncontrollably. OK, I giggled like a little girl.

It reminded me of an episode of the Simpsons when Krusty was talking about dirty words that sound funny...
Krusty: The young people today, they think comedy is dirty words...it's not, it's words that sound dirty like Mucklock

Ah, the Simpsons, eases the pain
