I hate to admit it, but since I spent quite a while in Utah, I kind of like it when they get bad press. I try to be nice, but there's still a part of me that enjoys it when bad things happen to them. Proves it can happen to anyone. And, they deserve it. They've been trying to get the Winter Olympics since I lived there in the sixties. They finally managed, and are busy-bee ripping the place apart. Frankly, the state has no common sense. Anyway, I read that "The Olympic Scandal" was first opened up on KSL Radio, which is a gigantosaurus talk radio station in Salt Lake City. So, one of the first two guys to get fired, I don't remember his first name, but honest to goodness, his last name in the paper is "Joklik." I kidja not. Joklik. I can only see one way to pronounce that, without bending over backwards. Think how it sounds on the radio. In Mormon SLC. Think what the temptation must be to use it in a sentence. "Did Mr Joklik.........." "Joklik procured the favors." "We hired Joklik because of his close relationships with the athletes." People tuning in won't even remotely assume that's a person. It's wacky, man. Makes me immaturely gleeful. So what if I'm eight in dog years.
