Maybe when I'm the Dread Lady of Aze... of Earth, I'll weed out the stupid from your 867 area with a swift Garrote. To watch the wiggling, of course.

On a side note some time ago they installed new motion sensor faucets in our bathrooms that give you 5 seconds of water after you wave your hand under them. It takes about 30 seconds of this to get warm water. Which means we basically stand in the bathroom for a full minute waving our hands around like some sort of bathroom wizard casting an elaborate cantrip for good luck after we pee.

I assume that these came with the "We're going to dole out paper towels in the smallest increments possible" towel dispensers, as well.

Heh. I laughed outright. Nobody around me cares if I laugh at something they can't see.
But that whole call of epic failure I actually had to share, because it was just that mindnumbingly painful.
Gravekeeper, I am so sorry you had to experience that firsthand.

I found a lump on Christmas Eve one year. The next possible appointment was late January. 
Don't fret too much over it, Slicey. Mine was nothing, and I'm told that's the usual situation. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, though.

That is not the acceptable format of credit card rhythm. The correct format is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. Please hang up, attempt to locate and obtain a rhythm, beat or groove then call back and try again. Thank you.

Gravekeeper, mock not those poor, disabled, hopeless people who are born without soul. B.B. King has a charity called Blacks Without Soul to help them.

Wow, you have been bukkaked by stupid. You must now run home and watch the science channel and eat cool ranch dorito's to combat the stupid.
Damn, even I feel dirty now....

 My brain's stuck between hilarious laughter and trying to figure out what stupid would look like on one's face... would it be mud-like substance, or remnants of slain brain cells? Too many options...!
and "I'm sorry but you've thrown off the Emperor's groove."...
That is the best line in the movie, and goes perfectly with that. Bravo!

I've used an unusual rhythm to make a business number memorable (while the number i'm giving is correct, I'm not giving you area code or even country...
Boring, regular format - 520 0300
Memorable, Business getting format 5-200-300
Complains about that wasn't a real number - Numerous :-D
