You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Godzilla vs. Jesus!

Is that the 900' Jesus?

Our phones have a horrible feature: you can force the recipient's phone to go into speakerphone mode. Basically, you can FORCE their phone to answer.

I used to be receptionist, and it was handy for me. That way the person didn't have to stop what they were doing if they didn't want to pick up.

But they do! It's the equivalent of barging into their office and starting talking, regardless of the fact they might actually be doing something or talking to someone else! If I'm not answering my phone, there's a damned good reason!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I may be able to eat. Must dash off downstairs and see if I can fit in a fruit salad before this crazy moment passes.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I'm with sarameg -- that feature would drive me insane. My company has a '3 ring policy' - somebody in the department has to answer the phone within 3 rings, and there's no voicemail. That also drives me insane.

Godzilla vs. Jesus!

Has it been immortalized in song? I might consider throwing over the Batman vs. Godzilla song in its favor, because you don't mess with the Jesus.

Well, you could rewrite Jim Croce's "You Don't Mess Around With Jim"...

Heh. Croce x-posty....
