Got a phone call this morning from a foreign sounding woman who wanted to verify my subscription to "Multi-Channel Magazine" (there is a "Multi-Channel News" but I did not request a subscription).
She said, "This call will be recorded for quality assurance."
I asked, "Can I have a copy of the recording?"
She said no more and the line went dead.
Heh heh. Just before the real live person picks up, when the recording says, "this call may be recorded for quality assurance", I usually begin improvising the bluest language I can pull up from my diaphragm. All the while the pretty music is playing, I'm describing anatomically-impossible activities I would have with their family members; unprescribed uses of foods, devices and animals; whatever I can latch onto.
When they come on, I frequently tell them, "I'm recording this call too." It usually does not last very long beyond that point.
