ORDERING PIZZA IN 2008

>Operator: Thank you for calling Pizza Hut. May I have your national ID
>number?
>
>Customer: Hi, I'd like to place an order.
>
>Operator: I must have your NIDN first, sir
>
>Customer: My National ID Number, yeah, hold on, eh, it's
>6102049998-45-54610.
>
>Operator: Thank you Mr. Sheehan I see you live at 1742 Meadowland Drive,
>and the phone number is 494-2366. Your office number over at Lincoln
>Insurance is 745-2302 and your cell number is 266-2566. E-mail address is
>Seehan@home.net. I see you're calling me from home.
>
>Customer: Huh? Where'd you get all this information?
>
>Operator: We're wired into the HSS, sir.
>
>Customer: The HSS, what is that?
>
>Operator: We're wired into the Homeland Security System, sir. This will
>add
>only 15 seconds to your ordering time.
>
>Customer: (sighs) Oh well, I'd like to order a couple of your All-Meat
>Special pizzas.
>
>Operator: I don't think that's a good idea, sir.
>
>Customer: Whaddya mean?
>
>Operator: Sir, your medical records and commode sensors indicate that
> >you've got very high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. Your
>National Health Care provider won't allow such an unhealthy choice.
>
>Customer: What?!?! What do you recommend, then?
>
>Operator: You might try our low-fat Soybean Pizza. I'm sure you'll >like
>it.
>
>Customer: What makes you think I'd like something like that?
>
>Operator: Well, you checked out 'Gourmet Soybean Recipes' from your local
>library last week, sir. That's why I made the suggestion.
>Customer: All right, all right. Give me two family-sized ones, then.
>
>Operator: That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four kids.
>Your
>2 dogs can finish the crusts, sir. Your total is $49.99.
>
>Customer: Lemme give you my credit card number.
>
>Operator: I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay in cash. Your
>credit card balance is over its limit.
>
>Customer: I'll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your driver
>gets here.
>
>Operator: That won't work either, sir. Your checking account is overdrawn
>also.
>
>Customer: Never mind! Just send the pizzas. I'll have the cash ready. How
>long will it take?
>
>Operator: We're running a little behind, sir. It'll be about 45 >minutes,
>sir. If you're in a hurry you might want to pick'em up while you're out
>getting the cash, but then, carrying pizzas on a motorcycle can be a little
>awkward.
>
>Customer: Wait! How do you know I ride a bike?
>
>Operator: It says here you're in arrears on your car payments, so your car
>got repo'ed. But your Harley's paid for and you just filled the tank
>yesterday.
>
>Customer: Well, I'll be a #%#^^&$%^$@#
>
>Operator: I'd advise watching your language, sir. You've already got a
>July
>4, 2003 conviction for cussing out a cop and another one I see here in
>September for contempt at your hearing for cussing at a judge. Oh yes, I
>see here that you just got out from a 90 day stay in the State Correctional
>Facility. Is this your first pizza since your return to society?
>
>Customer: (speechless)
>
>Operator: Will there be anything else, sir?
>
>Customer: Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 liter of Coke..
>
>Operator: I'm sorry sir, but our ad's exclusionary clause prevents us from
>offering free soda to diabetics. The New Constitution prohibits this...
>Thank you for calling Pizza Hut!

I laughed at this at first and then got to thinking. I hope not! :eek:

No, because fast food workers would have no reason to have access to homeland security info.

Secondly, fast food workers are incompetant for the most part and wouldn't be able to work such a system. They can't even get orders right 70% of the time as a national average.

Gatsby did you miss the point of that, i think it was leaning more on the humerous side and quite obviously Pizza hut wouldnt have access to such information, however the point was that in the future, the possibility of us being tagged by ID certification allowing perhaps Pizzahut to know what previous orders youve made and so offer you discounts on such could be a likelyhood.

What I find rather humorous is that you guys seem to think that Big Brother isnt already keeping tabs on us to this extent. Every time you use that BooksAMillion card, Grocery Savings Card, Gym Membership Card, Credit Card, etc., all of that is being documented. The scary part is that its not just the Gov. that has access to all this information. :eek:

homeland security info.
LOL. Homeland Security info... that in and of itself is hilarious... Why the government would need something labeled that and for that reason, we'll never know... but we don't need to for them to do it!

What I find rather humorous is that people [albeit with good reason] see things coming to this point in the future and worry that it will somehow give the government -"too much"-- control over the populace...........when the fact is that the Powers-That-Be figured out LONG ago eveything they needed to know about maintaining control of the herd.

They ALREADY HAVE the populace voting against their own best interests.....it is hard to conceive why they'd need any more firm control than they already have.

The American electorate ---collectively-- is ignorant and gullible, easily led in any direction the Corporate State wants.

Go to the web site for the U.S. house of representatives and read the bill titled ... The freedom commission act ... and while you're there, read Patriot Act II ... it's all there.

Not just national ID cards but biometric ID cards.
Psychological testing and drugging of school kids even without parental consent.
Psychological testing of all adults which will be used for, among other things, eligibility of gun purchase.
The right for law enforcement to enter your house for any reason using any means necessary.
Much more ....

As if the first patriot act didn't suck enough. Can't find the freedom commission act though. Got a link?

That's the baby and like Jester already nicely pointed ... this stuff is scary and I'll tell ya what ... they're gonna need every inch of the state of CA (and AZ and Mexico) to catch my a$$ when it's time for that mental test ... I'll make OJ's jaunt look like Mary Poppins.

On a very serious note ... this issue is beyond right-left/bush-kerry and effects each and every one of us. The country truly needs to come together to stop the bleeding or our constitutional rights or we will soon be seeing the day when we are stopped on the streets and asked for our papers.
