LOL! And thank you (and them) for your (and their) service to our country. (Freedom isn't free.)
Happy Independence Day!
Yeah, I think my favorite of these is yours about pressing "1" for English.
FAB,
John Swaney, Nicholas Weithmann, Antonio Perez, et al, thank you!
Happy Independence Day to my US friends...from the country where school children learn that Benedict Arnold was a Hero because he refused to stand against his King! (Really...!)

Well said.
Your "press 1 for English" is hard to beat!

A. Carlton Sallet,
Where did you get that shield? It's the unofficial emblem of my blog. Just curious, I haven't seen it used anywhere except my blog until now.
I'm proud that my French speaking Viking ancestors, some people call them Normans, went along with William the Great to conquer those damn Danes, Angles, Saxons, & Jutes that eventually spawned off America!
Long live King Rollo!
