Okay, they probably wouldn't include Rwanda.

When I used to spell my name I would say "Birnholtz, B as in 'boy' i - r - n - h - o - l - t - z as in 'zebra.'"

Now, I say "Hildebrandt, H - i - l - d as in 'dog' - e - b as in 'boy' - r - a - n - d as in 'dog' - t as in 'tom.'"

In Singapore, they jump right in with the countries. They don't even say "Tan, that's T as in Thailand, A as in America, N as in Netherlands." They say my name is Cheryl Thailand America Netherlands.

I take a lot of messages at work, and it's pretty confusing when I think people's last names are always countries.

I was so productive after work that I suffered an hour and twenty minute commute, went to the dr office (it was just as pleasant as the last time), swam 24 laps, made veggie lasagna and ate it.
