"Pat, I'd like to buy a vowel."

I'd like to see that name on the back of an NBA jersey.

Dzhindzhikhashvili has 18 letters in the English alphabet (the alphabet used for the Georgian language has 33 letters, meaning it has some single characters for sounds that take 2 or 3 letters in our alphabet, so possibly it takes as few as 12 characters to spell this name). Ben Roethlisberger's last name has 14 letters so almost the same. Of course he doesn't play in the NBA.
