What is the funniest word in the English language?
I say it's a tie between "wang" and "monkey".

11. One of the cleverest names of a horse, ever.
Years ago there was a horse sired by Banquet Table, out of a Dam named Cold As A Witch's. And his owners named him Titular Feast.

17. A banking-related anecdote about puds
In real estate there is an acronym PUD for Planned Unit Development, basically a whole community of condos or townhouses. There is a related legal term "de minimis PUD", which is defined at http://www.propex.com/C_f_glos_ae.htm if you care.

I first heard the term while suffering through a long, intensely boring meeting with the bank's legal department. A gay male coworker sitting next to me saw the puzzled look on my face, elbowed me in the ribs, and said "If I had a de minimis PUD I wouldn't admit it in public like that!"
