Monday Morning Memo

 

Thank you for holding.
Your call is important to us.
Not important enough for us to actually come to the phone,
but if there’s even an outside chance you might be wanting to
give us some money, we don’t want you to go away.

Press 1 if you want to give us money.
If you have a problem or a complaint, press #&$_+@%:?]:)
Press numbers at random if you want us to give you money.

Thank you for pressing 1.
If you really mean it and you’re not just trying to trick us
into picking up the phone, press the 16-digit number
of whichever of your credit cards has the
highest available balance into the keypad.

Your call is important to us.
Follow your 16-digit number with the 3-digit
security code you’ll find on the back of your card.

Your call is important to us.
If it’s an American Express card, the security code will be 4 digits
and you’ll find it on the front of the card but you already knew that,
right? They don’t give American Express cards to idiots.

Thank you for holding.
Your call is important to us.
Not important enough for us to actually come to the phone,
but if there’s even an outside chance you might be wanting to
give us some money, we don’t want you to go away.

Random Quote:

“The Orson Welles of 1936-42 worked 20 hours a day, ate double meals to keep going, pursued pretty young women like a demon and lived as if he had no tomorrow. He worked, all at once, in radio, on the stage and in preparation for his great film. He was a looming figure in American life: an offence to Hollywood in the way he achieved a carte blanche contract, and a boy wonder of such arrogance that it was said of him, ‘There but for the grace of God, goes God.’

If Orson Welles had never made Citizen Kane, he would be a phenomenon. But he did and that leaves us all his children. His real children might tell you that it was a difficult and sad life to be caught with. Alas.

But remember this: Orson died alone in 1985 and you can read the reports as signs of sadness. On the contrary, I suspect he was exhilarated at the end. Real sadness is being worth $5bn and not knowing what to do with it.
