How Do You Spell...

The rookie police officer was cruising down the street and came upon a dead dog. He picked up his phone, dialed the local pound and said, "Ma'am, there's a dead dog lying out here in the middle of the street."

"What street, officer?"

"It's in the 300 block of Wetickdahattchie."

"How do you spell that, sir?"

"Just a minute, and I'll check."

When the officer finally came back to the phone, he said, "It's Lee Street, L double e."
