The power of the hyphen in your wedding

So I’m not sure what a ringing endorsement this is, but I found this video amusing amidst the tryptophan-laced dearth of funny things online that usually comes after a holiday break. Someone went through the effort of collecting several poor hyphenated wedding names in newspapers and, well, it’ll make you chuckle.
That’s so crazy because their names don’t mean anything when separate, but when combined they take on awful meanings! Bet you didn’t get that at first viewing. That’s the one thing they teach you in Blog Journalism School (which exists solely in my head and consists of me alternating drinking, typing out punchlines, and pleasuring myself with tears ensuing from all of three): Dumb it down for your readers as much as possible. Which is exactly why this same bit appears on Jay Leno’s various shows. You’d be hard pressed to find a full set of chromosomes on any ardent Leno supporter. When reached for comment, an angry Jay Leno fan grunted, then scratched his rectum and sniffed his finger. So, myth dispelled.
