The Two Most Magical English Words

There are no two words like these words in the English language.

They stand apart, but only when together. 

Their likeness cannot be found in any of the other 500,000 or so English words.

To say them is to…

Oh fuck it. The words are: Mike Hunt.

Have you ever been in a store and asked the manager to call over the PA system for a Mike Hunt? Me neither.

When you say the magical words Mike Hunt together, it sounds like…see?

But wait. That's not the true magic. The true magic is in the timing. You can separate these two magical words by any stretch of time and they still sound like…see?

Go ahead. Try it. Say Mike right now. And then tomorrow, as you're wrapping your gifts with a coffee in your hand, singing carols and the children by your side at about 3:00 pm, say Hunt.

See?

Ben Dover? Phil McCracken?

Please. Child's play. Not the same.

Try it.

See?
