Since I deal with customers all over the country I've made it a point to
intentionally mis-pronounce PEA BODY so that people have a clue what I'm
saying. Every now and then I slip and say PEAbiddy and I end up having to
repeat it several times.
I used to love the Gold Bond commercials where they would interview some
poor soul with jock itch and say "this is Fred Smith from Haver Hill
Massachusetts"... Great ad for a New Bedford company!
