SUPER MARIO.

Local call. That means the longest it can last is 15 minutes and it can be explicit. These calls are weird, I wish I knew what the ad was that they are responding to. This guy sounded pretty young and wasn�t really giving me many clues to what he wanted so I was fishing like crazy.

�Whatcha doing this morning?�

�Nothing.�

�Hmmm, what do you like to do for fun?�

�Uh, whatever.�

�Really, you like watching cartoons?�

�Uh, no.�

(Isn�t this sexy sexy sexy? I just can�t help thinking that if I was paying for something by the minute, I would let the person know as soon as I called what it was that I wanted so they could give it to me a quickly as possible.)

�Oh, well. Do you like to play video games?�

�Yeah.�

�Really, what kind? Sports, adventure, shooting��

�Yeah, sports.�

�Sports? Oh, what kind of sports? Football, basketball, baseball�.�

�Boxing.�

�Oh, boxing. Cool. Oh hey, do you like Tetris?� That is my favorite video game.

�Uh, yeah. That one is okay.�

�Hey! Do you like Mario?�

�Oh yeah, that�s a classic.�

�Oh yeah, how about this: Do do do� to the tune of Super Mario Brothers.

�No way.�

I feel like I�m walking on thin ice here, is he going to hang up? I don�t fucking care, it has been about 9 minutes for this call already.

�Yup! Do do do do, do do do do do do do do do do.� I go on with the song.

�No, way. Stop, you are going to make me laugh so hard.�

�Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.�

�Stop!� he�s laughing.

�Do do do do do. Do do do do do do do. Do do do do do do do do do!!!!!! Riiiiinnngg!� That�s the last part where Mario jumps on the flag and the runs into the castle when you finish the level. He listened to me sing the entire Mario song!!!!

�Do you think that it is weird that I know that whole song?�

�No.�

I asked him if he thought it was weird that I knew that whole song and he said no. What I really meant to ask was if he thought it was weird that I sang it to him. I sure thought it was weird.

I don�t remember the rest of the call. I was in such disbelief that he didn�t hang up while I was singing the Mario song. The call lasted the full 15 minutes and we got cut off mid-sentence, but I didn�t give him my extension so that was the end of that.
