The last time a customer service representative (CSR) was giving me a confimation code, with the cues “A as in apple, F as in Frank, x as in x-ray” etc., I was thinking that a sadistic CSR oculd really have fun with this:
“Your confirmation code is KPXM123. That’s K as in knight, P as in pseudonym, X as in xylophone, M as in mnemonic, and the numbers 1, 2, 3.”
Here’s a kid one: My 3-year-old was going through a stage where he asked questions all the time, and frequently repeated them (I think to see if my answers would change). So I once asked him, “Do you get paid by the question or by the word?” He looked at me and replied, “Both”.
