A long long time ago, in a
A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, friend #1 was trying to find something in the index of a large manual, and friend #2 said "oh, that's under 'M' for 'counter-intuitive.'"
Some other ones
L as in Llano (sure it's Spanish, but is more or less incorporated as an English word in northwest Texas -- we're not using Scrabble rules are we?)
Q as in Qi (the modern pinyin spelling for "chi" -- the life energy)
R as in Ryokan
U as in Uitlander
V as in Verklempt (that nice F sound on it)
I'm sure my inner word nerd could come up with a few other nasty ones if I spent more time.... :)
Genius!
Some better than mine! I also forgot R as in Rye, which I think is the best so far, and Xeno is clearly better than Xerxes for X. T as in Tsuris? Q as in Queue is also nice, since it plays to C as in Cue.
O, F, and Z strike me as most in need of improvement.

In the actual phonetic alphabet, "Quebec" (for Q) may be deliberately mispronounced as Q-beck, not as the place name. The sensible and beneficial reasons why are left as as exercise for the reader.
