I would like to order a pizza..<br \/>\nDo you want your usual, sir?<br \/>\nMy usual? You know me?<br \/>\nAccording to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meat balls on a thick crust.<br \/>\nOK! That\u2019s what I want.<br \/>\nMay I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten free thin crust?<br \/>\nWhat? I detest vegetables.<br \/>\nYour cholesterol is not good, sir.<br \/>\nHow the hell do you know?<br \/>\nWell, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.<br \/>\nOkay, but I do not want your rotten vegetable pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.<br \/>\nExcuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you only purchased a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once, at Drugsale Network, 4 months ago.<br \/>\nI bought more from another drugstore.<br \/>\nThat doesn\u2019t show on your credit card statement.<br \/>\nI paid in cash.<br \/>\nBut you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.<br \/>\nI have other sources of cash.<br \/>\nThat doesn\u2019t show on your last tax return unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law.<br \/>\nWHAT THE HECK?<br \/>\nI&#8217;m sorry, sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.<br \/>\nEnough already! I&#8217;m sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I&#8217;m going to an island without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.<br \/>\nI understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello! Is this Gordon&#8217;s Pizza? No sir, it&#8217;s Google Pizza. I must have dialed a wrong number. Sorry.
