When Asians wannabe Caucasians

Got this from Rachel last week. Ever wondered how your names would confuse someone. Here's an example :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caller : Can I speak to Annie Wan (anyone)
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.
Caller : No. I want to speak to Annie Wan.
Operator : You're talking to someone. Who is this??
Caller : I'm Sam Wan (someone). And I need to talk to Annie Wan. It's urgent!!
Operator : I know you're someone and you want to talk to anyone. But what's this urgent matter about?
Caller : Well...just tell my sister Annie Wan, that our brother Noel Wan (no one) was involved in an accident. Noel Wan got injured is Noel Wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan (everyone) is on his way to the hospital.
Operator : Look. If no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isnt an urgent matter. You may find this hilarious but I certainly have no time for this!!!
Caller : You are so rude!! Who are you??
Operator : I am Saw Lee (sorry)
Caller : Yeah, you should be sorry. Now give me your FREAKIN name!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
