    GAME: Your turn to revise the NATO Phonetic Alphabet
    If you are not sure what the NATO Phonetic Alphabet is, check this out: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet

    I work in insurance claims, which requires repeating lots of numbers and letters and lots of distinguishing between Ms and N's or Bs and Ds... but I'm bored.. so I'd like to hear your revised phonetic alphabet... or words you feel would work better than those provided by the NATO list.

    For example... instead of H being Hotel, it is now Hillbilly.

    The rules... each word must work distinctly with its corresponding letter as to eliminate confusion (X cannot be xylophone, since it sounds like Z). Obscure is good.. but must not br so out there as to defeat the purpose of a phonetic alphabet (e.g. today...I tried "G as in 'golly gee!'" And was met with a "uhh.. what?")

    So... what are your improved words for a phonetic alphabet to help break up the monotony of the day? Do the whole alphabet or just a couple words... I'm interested in what you come up with!
