In my last job, I worked part-time as an inbound sales rep. I would sit there and answer the phone for anyone who had questions about this great new telephone plan in Maine. One woman I encountered was really excited about the cheap long-distance rates we offered.
"Ooh!", she crowed. "I'll be able to save so much money! I used to call a lot of people in outer space with my hands, you see."
I told her I understood, but to this day, I still don't.
. . .what, you thought this would be all about politics?
