The other day I get a phone call. An automated voice comes on asking me if I want to take a television survey. I was going to hang up on them because I hate telemarketers, but I am a huge fan of TV and maybe they would ask me stuff about the new Fall Season, something which would very much tickle my entertainment bone (where that is, God only knows.)

So anyway, a different automated voice comes on and I have to take a survey by answering all the questions by pressing one of the numbers on the phone. Every question is about elderly care. How do I plan to take care of my elderly family? How much do I think it costs? Where will I get my information about retirement homes? Etc. Etc. After like twenty of these questions it asks:

“Which TV station do you get most of your entertainment and news from? Channel 6, CBS; Channel 10…” etc.

I answer that question and the next thing I hear is “Thank you!” Click.

Wait…what the hell was that?

Also, if anyone has any clues as to who called me up today only to hang up when my dad gave me the phone, that information would be greatly appreciated.
