Only bogans and white trash pronounce the name of the country as "I ran". Educated people (there are few on this forum, I know) correctly pronounce it "ee-RAHN".I went on a date with an Iran chick once. Took one look at her and I ran for the door.
You get it? I-Ran.
The joke is that firstly, this was a fictional encounter. Secondly, the fictional female wasn't actually from from the country of Iran, but rather her physical appearance was so unappealing that it caused the fictional version of me to have a adverse reaction, sending me scurrying from the meeting place - or 'I ran' in other words. The two words 'I' and 'ran' when combined spell Iran, creating a humorous double meaning when they are confused. It really is a delightful bon mot.
