Information Technology

telemarketing phone calls can become extremely complicated. I inadvertently caused a young man to thizz uncontrollably in an existential haze for a hot second when I answered the phone. His attempted self-introduction failed to convince me that he either was, or was not a telemarketer. After a moment's pause, I presented him with his sentence: "Is this a marketing phone call?"

My indistinct verbiage and failure to effectively construct a proper identifigatory question puzzled him terribly. His initiation of our constructed relationship had been a haphazardly hot potato'd bowl of Thizzy Flakes passed to an unsuspecting stranger. My judo reversal caught him completely off guard.

The end of the conversation, I imagine, consisted of an involuntarily uttered stream of unintelligible gibberish, the very same kind that lurks just beneath the surface of all normal, day to day verbal interactions mediated by language.
