Wow... this really doesn't work in any accent I'm close to, but
I can
hear it if I imagine you saying it ;)
If I said RCStr, it sounds like 'are'-'see'-strrr, but 'our
sister'
would be 'hour'-sistə... isn't it strange that word recognition
seems
to work pretty much reliably down a sliding scale until an
arbitrary
point where it just drops off. There's not a lot of fuzzy area

The joke is revealed when you consider the fact that there are no
females in this community, let alone sisters. A kind of joke
that's funny only to certain types of men.
Now let's get back to fixing things before the world finds out
that D is full of holes.
