They ask the first one, "so what are you in for, Mr. Weed?"
"Well, it's ironic, but I was actually busted by the cops with weed. How about you, Mr. Koch?"
"You're not gonna believe this, but I was actually caught with coke."
Amused at the coincidence, they turn to the third man.
"And how about you, Mr. Dickinson?"
You guys are saying koch like coke and not cock?
You mean correctly?
Dont be silly. Not defrocked. Just relocated
Wait... In what the hell accent does Koch sound like coke?
American. Ever heard of the Koch Brother(s)?
The one that people named Koch use?
I hope you're joking. In America, "Koch" = "cock", or, at a push, "Cotch".
What the fuck are you talking about?
It's a German name. In Germany, it's pronounced absolutely nothing like Coke. Some Americans, including the famous and despicable oil barons, do pronounce it somewhat like that, although this is by no means uniform - as with most non-English names that have been Americanised, pronunciation varies drastically from family to family.
Not true. I mean, sure for NYC mayor Ed Koch, but have you never heard of the Koch brothers?
I have heard the name, but had no idea that's how you pronounced it (I'd only ever read it; never heard it).
It's a fairly common German name, and they definitely don't pronounce it "coke" 😂
I had a teacher with the last name Koch, and he pronounced it "cuck".
Are you not familiar with the Koch brothers?
Yup, and the proper pronunciation of their last name is "a$$w1p3"
If you’re american, which most of the world isn’t
That’s how the news pronounces the Koch brothers
Sigh, such a missed opportunity for a double whammy. "Father Dickinson."
I was pronouncing it like Coach
The FAQ for Heckler & Koch says to pronounce it like “coke.”
Jesus Christ, this is the internet, you’re allowed to say “Asswipe”
I thought it was like “Coach”. Coach Dickinson
^ This. In German, it sounds like "cock"; in the non-USA Anglosphere it sounds like "cosh". To be 'coke', it would need an umlaut over the 'o', i.e. 'oe' sound.
in which case, shouldn't he be in an altar boy rather than in prison.
“Tax fraud.”
Sounds like a nice juicy meaty cock
Car theft
There was no irony in the second paragraph.
I work in EP. There is a cardiac anatomical term "Triangle of Koch" that is pronounced just like coke.

This is so wrong lol.
In German, it's something like "Ko<hr>", the last sound being guttural. An "ö" would make it sound more French but there's not a single k in the pronunciation of the last syllable, no matter how many Umlaute you add.
To make it sound like "Cock", german would write "Kock".

So Dickinson was a defrocked priest?
