In a couple of weekends, I shall be taking first-born to visit her Grandmother in a place called Newark. This is to re-assure my Grandmother that she will still see her great-granddaughter even after all that has happened.

However...

Newark is an anagram of the word Wanker.

Ever since I was a small child, I've found this hysterically funny. Particularly since all the residents of the region are intensely proud of where they live.

Does this make me shallow? Probably. Do I care? Nope.
