"I'll take 'Unfortunate Surnames' for $1000, Alex"

Do you remember that one episode of Seinfeld?
Unable to remember the name of the woman he is dating, Jerry tries to pick up clues to solve the mystery. Given the clue that her name rhymes with a part of the female anatomy, Jerry and George try to come up with possible candidates: Aretha (for urethra), Celeste (for breast), Bovary (for ovary), and Mulva (for vulva). The pay-off of the joke comes at the end of the episode when she presses him to say her name. Jerry guesses Mulva, causing her to storm out of Jerry's apartment. In a flash of insight, Jerry runs to the window and yells out, "Dolores!" (for clitoris). (Wikipedia)
Funny. But--truth is always funnier than fiction.
