BV and CB

Simon has this Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood video that he loves. It's got 2 episodes on it: one at the circus, and one where they have a Bass Violin festival in the Land of Make-Believe. We just watched the second one, and I started laughing so hard I almost choked. I had never noticed that, at the Bass Violin Festival, the banner over the stage reads "BV FESTIVAL" The ladies out there are more likely to know why that's funny; for anyone who doesn't, BV is usually short for bacterial vaginosis, and that's friggin' gross.

It's like when people refer to the town of Corner Brook as CB- my first thought is always "colon blow", 'cause in university we called it CB. Actually, in university, CB could also have been "chicken burger," which led (if I remember correctly) to one conversation in which someone got really confused about what, exactly, Kim had for lunch. Sick.
