Ever heard of Danny Wallace? yes.
(if not go search him, yes)
He wrote a book called "Yes Man" recently-ish in which he spoke of his joureny through life (for a whiley) answering everything with "yes".
understand? yes.
Anyway, my bestestest friendy (http://www.theadventureofjojo.blogspot.com) spent the day at my home today. We were casually lying about in my boudoire (room) when the phone rang. We were home alone. I answered the phone:
Me - "hello?"
Phonevoice - "Hi there. My name is Lisa and I'm phoning to do a survey for [insertcompanyname]. Do you have a few minutes to answer a few questions?"
Me - "Yes."
(passes phone to jojo)
Phonevoice - [quickly and mumbled] "Do any of your close family or relatives work in such areas as market research, advertising...[list continues]
Jojo - "Yes."
Phonevoice - "umm..which..[repeats]
Jojo - "Yes."
Phonevoice - "So..what...somebody does work in..."
Jojo - "Yes."
Phonevoice - "Market research?"
Jojo - "Yes."
Phonevoice - "I'm..sorry, I'm going to have to end this survey now"
Jojo - "Yes."
Phonevoice - "Goodbye" [hangs up]
Only about half an hour later...
[phone rings]
Me - "hello?"
Phonevoice -[man sounding depressed] "hello, I'm phoning to ask a few questions. Do you have the time?"
Me - "Yes."
[passes phone to Jojo once again]
Phonevoice - "If you could change any doors or windows in your house, how many would you?"
Jojo - "Yes."
Phonevoice - "Right...[long puase with call centre background noise] how old are you"
Jojo - "Yes."
Phonevoice - [long pause again] beeeeeeeeeepppp
Jojo [to me very upset] - " HE HUNG UP ON MEEEEE!" :[
It's offical. Danny Wallace is the King.

Hmmm, that's a good one. I took a survey at my friend's house once, I approximated answers despite not living there, the surveyor didn't seem to mind that I spent a lot of time "uhhmmmm"ing my answers and thinking about it.
