OK, so after 30+ years of lusting after Porsches, I finally got one.
Despite years of dreaming about them, putting them off because it wasn't time yet, and reading all kinds of literature on them, in my mind, I pronounced it "Porsh". Not "Porsh-uh". Just "Porsh". Many times I heard the words in my head...."McLovin? You need to get you a Porsh". And here's the thing. I took three years of German in High School and even went to the Porsche Museum once on a trip to Germany. So now, I'm learning that it's properly pronounced "Porsh-uh", and I'm a Rube, a Heyseed, a backwards individual if I call it a "Porsh". But after 30 years, and now car ownership, I'm having trouble saying "Porsh-uh". So how do you say it? You know, to yourself. Not out loud? Porsh or Porsh-uh? |

So this well to do guy gets a knock on his door from a guy that was down and out and was asked if he had any work for the guy so he could make a few bucks.
The homeowner says: 'sure, I'll give you $300 to paint the porch.' Then shows him the paint and the brushes. He comes back at the end of the day and the guy is waiting for him at the end of the driveway. The guy greets him warmly and excited about his job well done and says: 'Man I painted all day, but I couldn't find a Porsche, so I painted the Ferrari instead!"
