When I was in the army I had a buddy named Juan who was from ABQ and we always got a kick out of how fast he could do it when we asked him how to spell Albuquerque, no matter how fucked up he was.
He could be passed out cold in his bunk and somebody would holler "Hey Juan, spell Albuquerque for me" and he'd rouse momentarily and rattle it off like a little kid spelling Mississippi, and then he'd immediately start snoring again.
Juan's main accomplishment of his service to his Nation was by the time he was discharged, there were a good 25 or 30 people in the company that could now spell the name of his hometown.
