Operator: "Thank you for calling Pizza Hut. May I have your national Iinsurance number?"

Customer: "Hi, I'd like to place an order."



Operator: "I must have your NIN first, sir?"

Customer: "My National Iinsurance Number, yeah, hold on, eh, it's 6102049998


Operator: "Thank you, Mr. Sheehan. I see you live at 42 Meadowland Drive, and
the phone number's 0161-494-2366. Your office number over at Lincoln Insurance is
0161-745-2302 and your cell number's 0776-266-2566. Email address is sheehan@ home.net
Which number are you calling from, sir?"

Customer: "Huh? I'm at home. Where d'ya get all this information?"



Operator: "We're wired into the HSS, sir."

Customer: "The HSS, what is that?"



Operator: "We're wired into the Homeland Security System, sir. This will add only
15 seconds to your ordering time"

Customer: (Sighs) "Oh, well, I'd like to order a couple of your All-Meat Special pizzas."



Operator: "I don't think that's a good idea, sir."

Customer: "Whaddya mean?"



Operator: "Sir, your medical records and commode sensors indicate that you've got
very high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. Your National Health Care
provider won't allow such an unhealthy choice."

Customer: "What?!?! What do you recommend, then?"



Operator: "You might try our low-fat Soybean Pizza. I'm sure you'll like it."

Customer: "What makes you think I'd like something like that?"



Operator: "Well, you checked out 'Gourmet Soybean Recipes' from your local library
last week, sir. That's why I made the suggestion."

Customer: "All right, all right. Give me two family-sized ones, then."



Operator: "That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four kids, and your
2 dogs can finish the crusts, sir. Your total is £24.99."

Customer: "Lemme give you my credit card number."


Operator: "I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay in cash. Your credit card
balance is over its limit."

Customer: "I'll run over to the machine and get some cash before your driver gets here."



Operator: "That won't work either, sir. Your checking account's overdrawn also."

Customer: "Never mind! Just send the pizzas. I'll have the cash ready. How long will it take?"



Operator: "We're running a little behind, sir. It'll be about 45 minutes, sir.
If you're in a hurry you might want to pick 'em up while you're out getting the cash,
but then, carrying pizzas on a motorcycle can be a little awkward."

Customer: "Wait! How do you know I ride a Bike ?"



Operator: "It says here you're in arrears on your car payments, so your car got
repo'ed. But your Ducati''s paid for and you just filled the tank yesterday"

Customer: Well I'll be a "@#%/$@&?#!"



Operator: "I'd advise watching your language, sir. You've already got a July 4, 2006
conviction for cussing out a cop and another one I see here on September for
contempt at your hearing for cussing at a judge." "Oh yes I see here that you just got
out from a 90 day stay in a Correctional Facility. Is this your first pizza since your
return to society?

Customer: (Speechless)



Operator: "Will there be anything else, sir?"

Customer: "Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 litre of Coke".



Operator: "I'm sorry sir, but our ad's exclusionary clause prevents us from offering
free Cola to diabetics. The New Constitution prohibits this.

Thank you for calling Pizza Hut!

Scary but I think something like that will be with us sooner rather than later :(

It's bound to happen considering all those dolts in the US who are trying to take the fast food chains to Court for 'making' them eat the stuff and so making them obese... :unsure:

Saw on TV today that UK has highest number of CCTV cameras in the world!


There was a discussion on a local radio show last night about this and people kept ringing in saying (I paraphrase) 'If you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about'. Fair enough but together with this new Civil Contingencies Bill it's all starting to look quite sinister.

We've seen, and some may say I'm wrong, how Tony Blair has been a virtual dictator in some of the things he's done. He seems to think he knows best, nobody can tell him different. That's bad enough but if this Bill goes through who is to say that at some future time it will be not be used 'against' the public.

The government will be able to declare an emergency (a very fuzzy phrase), seize property without compensation, force evacuations etc. They will be able to change legislation without consulting Parliament...it's a blue print for a dictatorship should a dictator arise. And if you wanted to fight against it there'd be no hiding place because all those cctv cameras would be following your every move!

Rant over.
