I have been getting hit with a wave of pre recorded sales calls. I hate those, can not even tell anyone to take a fucking leap.
Sean, search around and find the origins of the word fuck.
Speaking of Origin, I need to see if Wally World has gotten in the movie yet.....

I got a call from hillary clinton's disembodied voice asking me to vote for her. THose pre recorded calls are plain funny. My doctor's office sends them out from time to time. *In weird somewhat robotic female voice* Hello. THis is **** Medical Center calling to remind ( in a deep male's voice) *SEAN* (back to female voice) that you have an appointment with Dr. (male's voice) * YOUR DOCTOR* on ***** 2007.
THey actually say " your doctor" as if they think that I am intelligent enough to be able to remember my doctor's name. It is hilarious to listen to. I have an appointment with Dr. Yourdoctor on the 15th...
Even funnier are the postcards my dentist's office sends to remind me of my next checkup.

The only recorded messages I will tolerate are the appointment reminders. Thats actually serving a purpose. Anything else is a waste of my time. "We don't have the time or interest to contact you personally about this very important matter, but trust us, it's worth your time and interest."

They say they have a very important matter to discuss and urge you to call them back....without saying what they want to talk about! And they expect people to call back. Yeesh.

Just call back and introduce yourself as if you were auditioning for a dating service. Or, call back and pretend to be senile.
" Hello, you have responded to our political servey regarding the stance of the presidential nominees. Can I get your name for our official registration"
" Shoehorn! I love peanuts." "Now Mr. Jefferson its time for your happy pills" " Nixon all the way" CLICK

Now hang on, I was told the Jehovah's Witnesses have to spend time going round to houses at the age of 16 as part of some kind of coming of age thing, like a confirmation...if that's not true, apologies; but if it is, well, I've not met *many* 16-year-olds who do their religious duties without being forced by their parents, no matter what religion it is.

I'm sure there's at least one of these religions that makes people stand in public and preach to the Saturday afternoon shoppers. Mind you "voluntary" may mean you can either do it or get the hell out of our religion. Kind of like the ten commandments.

When my family originally joined a church years ago, we selected one in another town because the church near us wanted us to donate 2,000 dollars a year minimum to be a member... We never really went anyway, but I did enjoy the juice and donoughts that they gave us after my nap, I mean the pastor's sermon. FOr a while, I was a Christian Anarchist, but then I finally gave it all up. To much to think about. Now, I function and live for me, and those important to me, not a person that everyone tells me I have to worship even though I have never seen, or heard this person. It also saves me from the internal fight between the big bang theory, the pot of goo theory and creationism.
