Notes on an overheard phone conversation with an unexpected observation about
a name
Ring.
Ring.
“Hello?”
“Hi. I'm calling on behalf of a national marketing firm to see if you quality
for a study group that will pay you $500 for your opinions. What is your
name?”
“Sean Conner. That's S-E-A-N. C-O-N-N-E-R.”
“You must get a lot of jokes about The Terminator [1].”
“Actually, you are the first one! If there are jokes, it's about James Bond
[2], although that's actually rare.”
“Oh!”
