Name an organization/group whose name makes you laugh or brings up a funny image

I have two: National Organization of Concerned Black Men and Kids in Distress.

Don't get me wrong--both of these organizations do a lot of great service to the community. I find both of them very admirable for their community activism.

But on the other hand, whenever I hear either of their names, funny mental images can't but help pop up in my mind.

For Concerned Black Men, I imagine a group of African-American gentlemen who are standing around silently in a circle, their brows furrowed and their hands scratching their chins in deep thought. Finally, one of them says "Hmm. This is not good. Not good at all."

For Kids in Distress, I think of a couple of kids on an inflatable raft which has sprung a leak and is rapidly deflating. A shark fin is rapidly circling the sinking raft. The kids are frantically waving their hands and screaming.

2. Now, I'd never heard of either of those, and thought they were one organization.

The National Organization of Concerned Black Men and Kids In Distress (NOCBMKID). God alone knows what they do, but it brings up all sort of scenes, most have which involve British accents. :crazy:

8. Heifer International

Even though they are one of my favorite charities and I usually give Flocks of Hope as gifts for people.
And I usually tell the people I give them to "a heifer from a heifer" :)
