Ha, the running joke here when we call product support is to come up with funny shit as we're spelling things out. You'll hear "The serial code is syphilis, gonorrhea, flatulance, the number one..."

I was going to say that's a perfect name for a porn website, but it already exists - but it's not spelled "come".

Work at a helpdesk myself... we came up with a list of words that start with the right letter but didn't have the right sound... this was a few months ago and I don't have a copy of it anymore... things like E for Eileen and P for Phonetic... we were very bored that day....

Overheard Helpdesk operative using 'Eileen' as the phonetic notation for the letter 'I'.

Not smart. I laughed.

The End.
