RIGHT SAID PTED

This is Pted. Pted is the pterodactyl on the cabinet, stalking the flag. The  sign around his neck says ” Je m’appelle Pted.

pterydactyl on cabinet

The silent P  in Pted is pronounced with a slight breathy labial puff, followed by a Gallic nasal intonation, with a soft segue into a hint of a dental and an implied palatal.

I know. Sometimes I just can’t help myself.

A French student came to my door and asked, ”  Do you know why you can’t hear pteoydactyls in the bathroom?   Because the pee is silent.”

And then she turned on her heel and left.
