The Discovery of San Diego

Ron Burgundy: 'Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.'
Veronica Corningstone: 'No, there's no way that's correct.'
Ron Burgundy: 'I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.'
Veronica Corningstone: 'Doesn't it mean Saint Diego?'
Ron Burgundy: 'No. No.'
Veronica Corningstone: 'No, that's what it means. Really.'
Ron Burgundy: 'Agree to disagree.'

'There was a time, a time before cable. When the local anchorman reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man then the rest. His name was Ron Burgundy. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls.' ~ Bill Lawson
