Chick-a-Pee Please
I have a terrible time understanding certain accents on the telephone. A guy once called and asked for a funeral home in the town of 'Chickapee'. I searched the local phone book and could not find a listing for that city anywhere near where he said it would be. There are a lot of American-Indian named villages nearby so I thought that it was a logical name for a place but then I realized he wasn't saying Chickapee he was trying to say Chesapeake. Man did I feel stupid cause all my brain heard was chickaphee, chikopee, chickapeake, over and over.
