Reason 1: The ‘Phonetic Inconsistency of the English Language’.
Reason 2: This ambiguity of pronunciation adds further value to the joke,

May I ask how your name is pronounced? It must be one of:
/ˈæməl/
/ˈeɪ.məl/
/əˈmɔːl/
(IPA reader thingy here -> http://ipa-reader.xyz/. Copy/paste the above in the form, the damn thing won’t let me create a clickable link)
The variant that works with the joke is #3. I don’t recall you pronouncing it specifically, but I’ve heard everybody else pronounce it that way. That’s why the joke worked for all of us I think.
Unless of course you’ve suddenly decided it’s pronounce another way to win Best Post 2020
I’m not sure what I’m most impressed with: Amal seeing the Juan joke and holding his tongue until now to win the contest, or you instantly coming up with the one bit of Youtube video in which he speaks his name
Now I just have to figure out how to use a real soldering station. This is quite the improvement from my $5 30W Harbor Freight soldering iron. That one you plug in, tip gets sorta hot. This one has knobs and such…
Very grateful to @amal. He actually sent out a real prize for my lame dad joke!
Awesome! Feel free to ping me if you have any questions about using it. I train people on soldering and I happen to have that exact same model rework station (I wonder how that could have happened )
It can’t have been lame.
“We the people” voted, and you won, so it must have been the best.
…
Or
the least lame
…
Or
We are all lame
…
Either way, you won🏆
I think you hit the wrong thread. This one is so “last year”.
Try this.
We probably oughta get ol’ @Pilgrimsmaster to move it over.
In fact, maybe we oughta lock this one just to prevent this kind of thing from happening again? The titles are only 1 number apart after all.
