"How Do You Spell That?"
"Information? I need the number of the
Caseway Insurance Company."
"Would you spell that, please?"
"Certainly. C as in sea. A as in aye. S as
in sea. E as in eye. W as in why. A as in
are. Y as in you."
"Just a minute, sir. I'll connect you with my
supervisor."

"Lucille"
One of my friends works in the customer
service call center of a national pager company.
He deals with the usual complaints about poor
pager operation, as well as the occasional
crank caller demanding to be paged less often,
more often, or by more interesting people.
The best call came from a man who repeatedly
complained that he was being paged by "Lucille."
He was instructed that he would have to call her
and tell her to stop paging him. "She never leaves
a number, so I can't call her back," he said. After
three such calls, someone thought to ask how he
knew it was Lucille if she didn't leave a number.
"She leaves her name," was the reply. After
establishing that the customer had a numeric-only
pager, the light bulb came on. "How does she
spell her name?" the service rep asked.
"L-O-W C-E-L-L"
