Genre-crossover nightmares

Off topic: True fact: my senior year of high school we lived next door to one Captain Slaughter, who commanded the SP detachment of the base. He had two teenage daughters, whom, I believe, no guy could summon up the guts enough to ask for a date.

Now if only the daughters had formed a band...

The palindromedary wonders how many of us get the reference to an "SP detachment" but really the name "Captain Slaughter" is probably intimidating enough

Lifted from the Wikipedia article on William B Spong

 

Senator Spong

"was invited with the other freshman senators to address the National Press Club. Fearful that someone on radio or television would call him Senator Sponge, he used his brief five-minute introductory speech to that body to secure proper name identification. His first act as a senator, he announced in his southern drawl, would be to introduce a bill to protect the rights of songwriters in Hong Kong. He would be joined in this effort by the senior senator of Louisiana, Russell Long, and the senior senator from Hawaii, Hiram Fong, and together they would present the Long Fong Spong Hong Kong Song Bill. His name was never mispronounced by members of the media."
