Unique Phonetics?

This was received from “A Joke A Day.” Have you ever heard an amateur on the air make up his/her own phonetics and do something similar? I remember hearing one station with a call of WN8Z identifying as “Willie Nelson Eight Zucchini.”
“Information?
I need the number of the Caseway Insurance Company.”
“Would you spell that, please?”
“Certainly, C as in ‘sea’, A as in ‘aye’, S as in ‘sea’, E as in ‘eye’ W as in ‘why’, A as in ‘are’, Y as in ‘you.”
The operator pauses. “Just a minute, sir. I’ll connect you with my supervisor…”

—ARNS, June, ‘99

A man walked by a table in a hotel and notice three men and a dog playing cards. The dog was playing with extraordinary performance.
“This is a very smart dog,” the man commented.
“Not so smart, “ said one of the players. “Every time he gets a good hand he wags his tail.”

—ARNS, July. 1999
