Can't resist this: I have a friend who is fascinated by what he imagines the Chinese mispronunciation of "l" and "r". I have my photographic framing done by a local company, Blossom's Framing Supplies. He pronounces this as Brossom's Flaming Surprise. There is a link to Missee Lee here, as I'm sure I don't have to remind the Revolutionary Military Junta, or whatever Peter calls it.
