So in the UK we have a politician named Jeremy Hunt. He previously held the government role of Culture Secretary. The job includes things like protecting us from Rupert Murdock's attempt to monopolise all broadcast media. One day a few years ago the presenter of the foremost UK political radio show, Radio 4's Today Show, referred to "Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary, reviewing the Murdock bid for Sky TV"... or at least that's what he meant to say. What he actually said was something else... and then followed it with silence. Silence slowly followed by the sound of a "serious" man in his 60s practically crying in his desperately attempts to speak without laughing... for about 5 minutes. No one else in the studio even tried to help him lest they also be caught trying not to laugh. That on its own was funny enough for another serious presenter in his 60s on the same radio station, about an hour later, to make light of his colleague's failure to say "Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary". Except that's not what he said either... More silence slowly followed stifled crying. BBC management issued a formal apology but to this day I'm not sure anyone really knows why.
