Lars - There was an episode of the old tv sitcom 'The Odd Couple" where they used -

"OWA"
"TAGOO"
"SIAM"

Yeah - the first took me a while, but I finally figured it out.

And they did the "Owah" joke on "Mork & Mindy", too, but it was "Owa Tajer Kiam".

Second one first, first one heh funny.

The "owah" joke reminds me of the "sofa king" joke.

First time I saw the "Owa" gag was in a Three Stooges short, so I would guess it dates back to vaudeville and/or burlesque.

In a similar vein, comedian Jackie Vernon started out using the stage name Nosmo King.

Also, I was much amused in bygone days by the fake address East Erbun, NY.

I often get a chuckle when kids turn up at our youth group saying they live on 'Form Road'

Yeah, right

The second one was easy but the first had me stumped for a couple of minutes.

"East Erbun, NY."

Ha, I will have to remember to use that on forms that require me to enter in an address to proceed....
