IT'S A LONG WAY
The little daughter of a lieutenant answered a telephone call while her parents
were out. The man calling identified himself as Colonel Hendrick. She asked
if he would please spell the name slowly. He said: "H as in horse, E as
in egg, N as in nose, D as in doggie, R as in rabbit, I as in Indian, C as in
cat, K as in kite."
When her father returned, the message on the desk read: "Daddy, please
call Indian warrior Colonel Horseeggnosedoggierabbitindiancatkite."
