Joe's Aerospace. This is Joe
Edited on Sat Feb-10-07 04:19 PM by lnmike
...ring...
Joe: Joe's Aerospace, this is Joe.
Caller: Oh, hey, Joe! I'd like an estimate to install a missile defense system for America.
Joe: OK, your property's here in the U.S.?
Caller: Oh, no, no no. It is the U.S.
Joe: I don't follow.
Caller: Oh, I'm calling for estimates to install a missile defense system for our country.
Joe: Uh, what?
Caller: Eh, well, um, let me explain. We're a grassroots group looking for funding to combat our enemies' recklessness with missiles. We can't get funding if we don't have an estimate, so, you know...
Joe: Are you serious?
Caller: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're calling it the National Missile Defense System. Isn't that great?
Joe: You want to know how much a missile defense system would run you, for the country?
Caller: Uh-huh.
Joe: That doesn't even make sense, sir.
Caller: Oh, no, oh, you know what? You're right. Maybe we should just map out the Pacific Northwest first.
Joe: Is this a joke?
Caller: No! Imagine being able to flip a switch, and shoot down missiles headed for America?
Joe: Flip a switch? You know much land you're talking about?
Caller: I know it seems big, Joe.
Joe: Seems big?
Caller: Well, they did that moonshot thing. That's pretty big.
Joe: No, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I can't help you.
Caller: Wait, Jo-click-
...dial tone....

2. It's an Ad Council radio ad, about preventing forest fires
I left a "sprinkler" in at first, and just took it out.
