I was at a Geek Prom and there was a fantasy/sci-fi spelling bee and somehow I made it to the final round (? not sure but it was close) and they said, "Your word is 'wookiee'."

Now, I've been a hardcore Star Wars fanatic forever, and knowing that I, quick as a flash, upzipped my coveralls to reveal my super tight X-Wing pilot shirt on, belted out, "W-O-O-K-I-E!!" and looked at the moderator as he looked at me and then he said, "I'm sorry, that's wrong. It's, 'w-o-o-k-i-e-e'."

I turned beat red and slunk back to my seat embarrassed as I could be.
