My opinion doesn't matter
So, I keep getting these telemarketer calls supposedly wanting to do a survey on leisure time.
Right.
Last night's caller's voice was deep and dark and so smooothe that I found myself talking to him before I realized I really didn't want to.
Him: Want to take a survey on how you spend your leisure time?
Me: Sure, but I have to tell you up front, I'm a single woman over the age of 50 who lives alone.
Him: That's cool. Everybody's opinion counts.
Me: Ok, let's do it.
We run through the obvious questions/answers, no there aren't any people in the house working for an ad company or under the age of six. Yadda yadda. Then we get to the kicker.
Him: What is your age.
Me: I'm 54
Cue crickets...
Him: Well, thanks anyway, but we've filled our quota for people in that category.
I laughed. WTF anyway! Nothing like being reduced to a quota to make a gal's night.
