for (looks at timer on phone) 47 minutes and 10 seconds ... now.

I'm hungry.

Edit
I hung up when the timer cycled back to 00:00. One goddamned hour of my life I won't get back. Let's see what happens after lunch.

I'm impressed you lasted for an hour! I would have given up after 20 minutes.

Wow. That's worth a letter of complaint. And an invoice for the hour of your life you're not getting back.

i hope that when you finally got through, you insisted that the operator listen to your mouth-trumptet rendition of The Girl From Ipanema before coming to the point of your call.

At least it wasn't a bad electronic version of Greensleaves which was suffering from a bad case of clipping as I've encountered in the past.

A 15 second gap of music is also quite annoying as its just short enough to break your concentration nicely.
