So as I am sitting down to dinner last night I get a phone call.

Me: “Hello?”

Person: “Hello sir, my name is Ann and I am from the Ajax Marketing Firm…”

“I’m not interesting in buying anything. I was just sitting down to dinner and…”

“How is your Kraft Macaroni and Cheese sir?”

“What? How did you know that?”

“We are a marketing company, it is our job.”

“Ok, you are freaking me out here.”

“Sir if I really wanted to freak you out I would ask you why you switched from original Lever soap to the new ‘fresh and clean’ scent last week.”

“Woah.”

“You really did smell better with the original choice by the way.”

“I am going to hang up now, you are really creeping me out.”

“Don’t threaten me sir. We both know that you are talking to me on your couch while watching Headline News.”

“How can you see me?”

“Again, sir we are a marketing company. That is our job.”

“Okay okay I’ll buy the product.”

“Great. I’ll put you down for one ‘Ajax Anti-Telemarketer Adapter Re-Router Unit’.”

“Wait a minute. You are selling a product that stops people like you from calling me?”

“Yes sir.”

“So you marketing companies bought all the information on me without my permission and now I have to buy something just to get you people to leave me alone?”

“Yes sir, that sounds about right.”

“Man you people just take shit way too far.”

“We prefer the term ‘genius’ sir.”
