I saw a funny list once...it had things like
A - Are
C - See
W - Double U
I thought I saved it somewhere, but looked for it recently and couldn't find it.
I had a call once from someone with a thick accent...after he repeated something several times, I heard him say D as in Dumb...I was so pissed off until I realized he was saying T as in Tom...phew!

I translated the alphabet into names of the Devil.
