the pilot kept giving updates on the Germany-England game
I had to call the 800 number for one of my bank accounts (they sent me an ATM card and claimed they'd send me a PIN via a separate mailing, but I never received it [or possibly -- most likely -- did receive it and forgot a PIN was forthcoming, and shredded the mail without opening it (yes, I do that a lot)]) to ask them to send me my PIN (again).
The call center sounded like it was in India, and the representative on the phone had a musical accent between (some type of) Indian and British. Anyway, to refer back to Jesse's post, every time he had to wait for the computer to spit out the necessary info, he started telling me about the really exciting moments in the England-Germany game, and how since England is out now, he's rooting for Argentina.
When we got off the phone I told him I hoped Argentina won it all.
