    It promised a 45 second poll, so I answered no to every question because I hate computer voice automated thingies, and I suspected the 45 seconds might be a fib. (I was right it was a minute 7 seconds)

    I know by law these things have to have a phone number spoken or recorded at the end of the call, so I waited. How very clever that computer voice automated thingie said "thank you, goodbye" paused 3 seconds then in a fast low voice gave the phone number. I've decided to see what happens if I don't hang up and the connection between me and mister computer voice automated thingie has been open for 2 hours 7 minutes and counting.

    Those of you who were able to eat dinner uninterupted may thank me by sending $5 in small unmarked bills to M. Manners c/o trollkingdom.
