Telemarketer: Hello Mr. Mick-Heel, I’m calling from (some company) and would like to let you know that you’ve qualified for our premium long distance rates.
Camille: Oh, a telemarketer, this should be fun.
Telemarketer: Yes, sir. As part of our special promotion you can call anywhere in —
Camille: Do you like Arabs?
Telemarketer: Pardon me, sir?
Camille: I refuse to talk to racists. Do you like Arabs?
Telemarketer: Yeah, I guess so.
Camille: Thank God. There are so many ignorant people in the world. I hate that, don’t you?
Telemarketer: Yeah, a guy the other day called me the n-word.
Camille: That’s horrible. So you’re black?
Telemarketer: No.
**Brief pause**
Camille: I don’t think that qualifies as racism.
Telemarketer: Yeah, it was ’cause the guy that called me it was white.
Camille: I see. Well then I’m glad you feel my pain. We’re very much alike, Tom. Can I call you Tom?
Telemarketer: Uh. My name is Mike.
Camille: Get out of town! I have an uncle named Mike!
**Pause**
Camille: Uncle Mike, is that you?
Telemarketer: Um. No.
Camille: Oops. I must have the wrong number then. Sorry about that.
Telemarketer: No problem.
**Hang up**
