Q: What do you call a large, amphibious mammal who lives in Africa and was born after this death of his father?
A: A hippo-posthumous!
I just realized I've been mispronouncing "posthumous" and "posthumously" incorrectly my entire life, which is rather unfortunate because I only tend to use this word when trying to sound smart.
My attempt at the pronunciation was something to the effect of: Pohst-hew-MUS-lee.
Hopefully this joke will help me remember!
