I went to McDonald's one time and the white olodo manger couldn't pronounce my last name. She was : oooo, oooonnnnn, nnnnn , ooo nnnaa. Nnnnn. And everyone was laughing and waiting, looking around for who bears that name. I was there without saying a word until people left. Most people can pronounce it comfortably but the olodo manager couldn't .
