Many, many, many years ago, when televisions were small, monochrome and uncommon, we used to listen to the radio for entertainment. Sometimes, during the radio equivalent of Mock the Week, there would be a section entitled Announcements at the Ball.

You've probably seen it in some films. At a formal dance, the guests would have their names announced at the door by the Master of Ceremonies.

The idea of this thread is that you announce the names of Comedic Guests using puns and/or word association.

Example. Mr & Mrs Drawers, and their son, Chester! (Did you get it? Chest of Drawers.)

Your choice might be a bit more Geeky.

Mr & Mrs Wars, and their daughter, Star!
