MCI: Good evening, I'm calling from MCI Worldcom... Me; Where? MCI: MCI Worldcom. (You know what's coming.) Me: Cool. Can you tell me what MCI stands for? MCI: Um...I really don't know. Me: But I'm really curious! MCI: MCI stands for "change." Me: No, M..C..I.. What do the letters stand for? Can you go ask someone? MCI: But, sir, it's late and there's no one around. Me: Really? There isn't a janitor wandering around somewhere that might know? MCI: Well, just one minute... (To coworkers: Hey, are you on the phone? This guy wants to know what MCI stands for. Do you know?) Coworkers: I don't know. Um... Manufacturing? Incorporated? Who knows? What the...? Why? MCI: It stands for Manufacturing Corporation? Incorporated? Me: No, that can't be right. Ask again. MCI: Well, can we call you back? Me: NO! I really need to know tonight! I really, really curious! MCI: Manufacturing Corporation Incorporated. Me: Do you want to put money on that? MCI: What? Me: Are you sure? Because I don't think that's right. It's got to stand for something else. MCI: But, sir, we really don't know... Me: Come on. You work for the company and you don't even know what it stands for? What kind of shoddy service are you selling here? MCI: Thank you, sir. Good night. Me: Cool! I got a telemarketer to hang-up on me.
