Is it true?


I was told the there was once somebody called Reading, from Reading, at 
Reading University, studying English Lit, who went on University Challenge 
and was able to announce himself as:

"Reading from Reading, reading reading at Reading"

    Well this really did happen, I saw it!
    
    When my husband was a senior at Williams College, there
    was a freshman named William Williamson enrolled there.
    He was assigned to the frosh dorm, Williams Hall. Thus
    the poor young man's address was....William Williamson,
    Williams Hall, Williams College, Williamstown, Mass.
