Radio Caller

A Cork radio station was running a competition - words that weren't in the dictionary yet could still be used in a sentence that would make logical sense. The prize was a trip to Bali

DJ: "96FM here, what's your name?"
CALLER: "Hi, me name's Dave."
DJ: "Dave, what's your word?"
CALLER: "Goan... spelt G-A-O-N, pronounced 'go-an'."
DJ: "...You are correct, Dave, 'goan' is not in the dictionary. Now, for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?"
CALLER: "Goan f**k yourself!"

The DJ cut the caller short and took other calls, unsuccessful until:

DJ: "96FM here, what's your name?"
CALLER: "Hi, me name's Jeff."
DJ: "Jeff, what's your word?"
CALLER: "Smee... spelt S-M-E-E, pronounced 'smee'."
DJ: "...You are correct, Jeff, 'smee' is not in the dictionary. Now, for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?"
CALLER: "Smee again! Goan f**k yourself!"

Not really in the same league, but it's great fun passing hoax phone messages on to friends signed by someone called Heywood Jablome and asking them to read out who it's from.

Jablome has to be pronounced as three syllables for it to work. There, now I've gone and ruined it by overanalysis.

It still took me a while as I was rhyming it with 'home' rather than pronouncing the 'e' on the end!

For someone who loves jokes, I can be a bit slow off the start sometimes.

On reflection, it might work better if it's changed to Jablomey.
