Many moons ago, I used to work for an architectural firm, where the associates are of different ethnicities and I remember the poor secretary going to this lengthy routine on the phone, when the other line asks for the associates' name:

Secretary picks up the phone: "Dimakopoulos, Chang, Wigglesworth, Gharemanpoor & Associates.."

The other line: "Acropolis?"
Secretary: "No, it's DI-MA-KO=POU-LOS !"

The other line: "TSENG?"
Secretary: "No sir, it's Chang! as in chimpanzee"

The otherline: " Woodsworth?"
Secretary: "Nope! it's WIGGLES-WORHT!"
The otherline: " Oh, Wigglesworm?"
Secretary: "Nope! it's WIGGLES-WORTH!"

The other line: the last one, is what again? "Carmen-Fuhr?"
Secretary: "No sir, it's GHA-RE-MAN-POOR!"

Finally, the other line seems satisfied until: " Last thing,
could you please spell their names!"
Secretary: 88|88|88|88|
