I might just be losing my mind, and we are weeks from the mid-term elections.
Phone rings, DC number 202-630-1956. Ah, political poll, probably robo. Always good:
Me: Hello?
Them: This is Survey 2010. Yep, robo call. Do you own a small dog?
Me: Uh. No.
Them: Thank you. This has been Survey 2010. Click
I have no idea. But if someone calls asking if my hovercraft is full of eels, it is on.
Update: Loyal troublemaker dj aka Tanker Narc sends a link to this Cleveland Plain-Dealer story which went all the way to the FTC looking for answers on what is evidently a national thing. The feds have no clue — no surprise there — but we do get confirmation that females have gotten the exact same treatment, so my supposition I spin out in the comments — that the call I took wanted a female respondent — does not apply. Unless.
In some cases the “small dog survey” wants a female and in others it wants males.
I am no longer infected.
