RS: Moved to Curiosity Corner as a more appropriate board. Shadow left here


Ok it's Monday morning schoolboy humour but I was amused by the acronym for this professional society from today's newspaper article:

The number of women having breast enlargement - the most popular procedure of all - rose 7 percent. - British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS)

Aside from the classic Guild of Master Bakers, DAK any more examples of the humourous naming of professional societies?

Two others I found:

National Association of Parliamentarians (NAP)

The Association of Camp Nursing (http://www.campnurse.org/) sounds like training for a Carry On Film.
