(T=Telemarketer, CZ=me)
*ring ring*
(picks up speakerphone)
CZ: Hello!
T: Hello, may I speak to Alex ***** please?
(Alex is standing next to me, smiling)
CZ: (in deep MANLY VOICE) Yes, you may.
*pause*
T: Hello?
CZ: Hm. You do not understand. You may speak to her, however she will not speak to you.
T: Ummm....
CZ: You see, we have a Dominant/Submissive Gorean relationship model in this home. In this case, you are permitted to speak to my wife, however she will not to speak to you.
T: Um.... Ok, this will be difficult....
CZ: Not at all, please continue.
T: Ummmmmm......
T: I'm from the Baltimore County xxxxx polling group and we would like to ask a few questions of Alex regarding the upcoming elections. Can you answer a few questions?
*Alex is laughing and shaking her head no*
CZ: Hm. Let's see what she says.
(Alex is shaking her head)
CZ: She is shaking her head no. Therefore I believe the answer is that no, we do not wish to participate in this poll.
T: Um, ok. Thank you....
CZ: Good day.
I really have to say Alex and I agreed to this one. The people were calling 3 times at dinner, with robot callers that would hang up. Quite frankly I wonder how many of them wind up calling Gorean households and getting these kinds of responses.
Or maybe not. Regardless it's always fun to take people off the defined scripts.
