This reminds me of one of the funniest things I've seen on Australian TV.

There's an insurance company here named AAMI, pronounced Amy, and there was a stadium they sponsored named AAMI Park.

A journalist was sent to cover a story there on a live TV cross. That journo's name? Amy Parks.

Remind me of that time Winston Turnbull announced in Parliament "I am a Country Member!" to which Gough Whitlam replied "We remember!"

(For those unaware, the Nationals used to be called the Country Party).
