    I will not make any jokes about call centers in India.

    @misslinda:

    OPERATOR: Hello, thank you for calling Sprint. My name is Eli. How may I provide you with excellent customer service today?

    CUSTOMER: Eli, hmmm? Where are you from?

    OPERATOR (flipping through pages): Um... Peoria, Illinois.

    CUSTOMER: Oh, okay.

    OPERATOR (flipping through more pages): "Hey, they opened a McDonald's here yesterday. Right next to the (pause) Wal-Mart. Why are you tripping, boo?"

    CUSTOMER: What?

    OPERATOR: "U-S-A! U-S-A!"

    CUSTOMER: Okay, I get it!

    OPERATOR: Jai ho!

    CUSTOMER: What?

    OPERATOR: Never mind.

    @Aaron Altman: You know how everybody is collecting tweets for some book or something? I am keeping recordings of my conversations with overseas credit card call centers regarding...um...my over-payment of certain cards. Note to self: must use, "Why are you tripping, boo?" at least twice today.

    The sale of young kids for the purpose of marrying them (to Arab sheiks looking for kicks or for an heir) has been going on for a long time. I am rather conflicted about the current story - on one hand, it draws attention to a serious issue, and on the other hand, it reeks of entrapment and is way too tabloidy to be taken seriously beyond a couple of days.
