For a while my sister worked as a telemarketer, and heard lots of stories of amusing misunderstandings between a telemarketer and the person being called.

One time, the person listed with the phone # was named "Jesus". Everyone else at the office was treated to the amusing sight of a telemarketer pronouncing the name as "Jee-zus", not "Hay-soos" when asking, "Is Jesus there? Could you put him on the phone?"

One can imagine the rest of the conversation, "Well is Mohammed there? How about Buddha; I can hear him chanting in the background, don't tell me he isn't home. Oh fine then, put Joseph Smith on the line, at least he speaks English..."
