Now that I'm back in the city I'm getting a lot of telemarketing calls and wrong numbers again, especially since this is a new listing I suppose. Here is today's call (short version)… It seemed funny at the time at least.
Dude: Do you have any recording devices in your household, like a tape recorder, a computer with recording equipment, or a minidisc recorder?Me: Does a miniature tape recorder count?
Yes.
I have one that I use to record stuff that happens when I'm not here.
Do you have a CD player?
No, nothing like that.
Have you bought any music in the last twelve months?
I haven't bought any music since they stopped making tapes. Oh, wait, I did buy some as a present though. Does that count?
Yes. Do you have an MP3 player?
A… what?
…I have no idea what that is…Have you bought any blank CDs in the last twelve months?
*Blank* CDs?!? Why would I want to buy something like that!?!
Maybe as a present?
Seems like a pretty crappy present to me.
Do you have a computer?
Well, I have a Commodore 64. It's pretty old.
And does it have a CD-ROM drive?
It has a 5 1/4″ disc drive, but nothing like what you're talking about.
Do you have any MP3 songs on the hard drive?
Do I have any what on the what now?
How many telephone numbers do you have in your house?
Jeeezzz… My phone book must have millions of the them in it.
No, how many of your own telephone numbers do you have?
Oh, just this one then.
And do you use the internet?
I've tried, but it really sucks. I don't think my computer is very good at it.
What is your first langauge?
BASIC!!!
Is that a language?
Oh, you mean human languages?
Yes. English?
English.
And how many people live in your household?
Counting all the animals?
No, just the people.

Thank you.
