I was on hold for a while today; I put the phone on speaker and kept working. The hold music was a local radio station, and they were having a phone-in quiz competition to win a cinema voucher or some such. This, I swear, is how it went:

Announcer: And on the line now we have Sarah. Hello, Sarah.
Sarah: Good thanks, Glenn.
Announcer: Er, yes. So, Sarah, you've waited all this time, are you ready for the final question?
Sarah: Yes, Glenn.
Announcer: Good. Now... do you like shoes, Sarah? That's not the question.
Sarah: Haha, yes, I love shoes.
Announcer: How many do you have?
Sarah: Oh, too many.
Announcer: So you're a real shoe lover?
Sarah: Yes, yes, I am, Glenn.
Announcer: And did you like "Sex and the City"?
Sarah: Yes, yes I did.
Announcer: The show and the movie? Did you go and see the movie recently?
Sarah: Yes, I did, I loved it, it was great.
Announcer: Ohhh, Carrie and all her outfits and her shoes, all those shoes, my wife loved them, I bet you did too.
Sarah: Yeah, I wish I had them.
Announcer: Wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't you just love to afford all them? Right, great, so are you ready for the question?
Sarah: Yes, I'm ready.
Announcer: So, Sarah... what is Manolo Blahnik famous for?
Sarah: (long pause) Ummmm... does he play soccer?

Dearie, dearie me, I laughed. Poor, shoe-loving, non-hint-taking Sarah. The next caller won.
