For English, Press One

For English, press One
For Spanish, press Two
For a 'Good Time,' press I Love You

For a free gift, press Pound
To win a prize, don't make a sound
For a dial tone, put your phone down

To be placed on hold -- Ha, ha!
To stop the Muzak -- Nah nah! 
To curse your luck -- Waa, waa!

To make a payment, say 'Pay it now'
To cancel your account, say 'I disavow'
To disconnect, say 'Ciao'

Gershon, your sense of humor never ceases to amaze me, and I am not easily amazed.

Actually, the sense of humor comes because I am easily crazed...

Hello Gershon, I am not a fan of automated. The perso on the other end speaks too fast, I can not get all the information being said. Enjoy your evening my friend.

Let 'em steal my 'Ciao.' Long as they don't steal my Alfa-Romero. (My friend built me a plastic model. No carbon footprint). ~ ESGershon Wolf
