Tom Claymore: Yes.. hello.. [ reading from phone book ] Mrs. Barbara Gardner, of 1724 Meadowview Terrace?
Barbara Gardner: Yes?
Tom Claymore: I’m Tom Claymore, of Bonanza Resorts International.. I’m calling to congratulate you, you’ve won a 10-day, all expenses paid vacation to the Bahamas!
Barbara Gardner: I don’t remember registering for any trip.
Tom Claymore: Oh.. you’re automatically reigstered! Your name has been selected from a list of preferred customers!
Barbara Gardner: I’m not sure I understand…
Tom Claymore: Well, all I need is a credit card number, to confirm your identification, so you can claim your winnings. Any credit card number will do.
Barbara Gardner: Maybe you’d better give me your phone number first.
Tom Claymore: Oh, that won’t be necessary!
Barbara Gardner: You’re right. I already have it. [ looks at Caller ID] It’s 555-7213. Right?
Tom Claymore: [ freezes, as Barbara hangs up on him ] Boy.. she’s got my number.. now I’m gonna have to kill her..
Announcer: At U.S. Fon, we don’t have Caller ID. Maybe we’re the right choice.
