I know I've had some bad negs in my time (such as
saying scum for smut on a horrible packet in practice),
but the best one I can recall was at the 1999 NSC
when I was reading:
"...1817 treaty...limiting
the number, tonnage, and armament of the negotiators'
ships."
*BUZZ*
Response: "Rush Limbaugh"
CORRECT answer:
"Rush-Bagot"

on that one!
