Btw, have you noticed that the Koch Bros. pronounce their name Coke,
Former NYC mayor Ed Koch pronouced it Kotch...
and Sam Adams Brewery owner Jim Koch pronounces it Cook?
Apparently none dare call themselves Cock.

Re: Jeopardy
I once lived in a community with a prominent business with "Koch" in the name. Even though the European pronunciation of the name is nearest to "Cock" the owner made it a point to call on all new arrivals to make sure they pronounced the name as "Cook."
The job of a skeptic is to investigate the unexplained; not to explain the uninvestigated.
