I was leaving a message on Lori's voice mail earlier today. For background, it is important to know that I had just been speaking with Wonka while he was half-asleep. Our conversation was rather lucid and he wasn't that able to keep up with wat is usually a very snappy and witty volley of comments and references. After that I called someone whom I haven't spoke with in quite some time, and got her voice mail. I left a rather long-winded voice mail message, as I am perhaps known to do. Though it was more because I wanted to remind her of the time that I told her that I found her nostrils to be horribly non-symmetrical.

So, after this I called Lori to finalize plans, and got her voice mail. I rambled on through the voice mail. At this point, I was desperate for interaction while I was driving home on the 101. While leaving this message, I hit upon what I consider to be one of my best ideas ever.

This idea far exceeds my idea for the ultimate in dollar discount stores: The Canadian Dollar Store.

Here's what I need to find the venture capital to do: I want to make a voice mail system that prompts the person leaving the voice mail with "uh-huh" and "yeah" when it detects that the person is hesitating. We could also program it to say "you don't say" when there was a barrage of speaking and a abrupt end. Or maybe we could get it to detect when someone was crying and it could say "calm down, I can't understand you when you're talking like this."

Ohh! Then I could sell it at the Canadian Dollar Store... since I'm probably the only person who wants to have prompting during his hour long voice mail messages.
