i wish i had this on tape...
my friend at work is trying to call some place for a client, and no one speaks english there. he's trying to spell the name of the client:
"Hello. Hello? May I speak with someone who speaks English? English. Thank you. Hello? Yes, I am calling from the United States. We sent a wire to you last month and we were trying to determine whether you received it or not. Yes. A wire. We sent it last month. Last month. Here is the name: E as in Ethiopia, D, W as in Water, A as in Apple, R, D...Yes. That's the first name. Here's the last name...B as in Boy, E as in Ethiopia, Z as in Zaire.......(five minutes later)...You don't see anything showing up? OK, Thank you!"
With such poise! I am envious.
