The Magic Word

So, a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that we sometimes start saying "Big Boy" and "Fluffy" when people get those voice recognition call menus that I hate so much, mocking the Citibank ad.

Well, I think we've found the correct password that seems to get you past most of those prompts and directly to a person. It came from a conversation about Tom Cruise.

The Word? Xenu. So far it has a pretty good track record with most of the financial companies with voice commands.

Who knew they were all aligned against the true way?

maybe the word is really "menu"

I don't think so, Xenu doesn't rhyme with menu. It's Zee-new, and menu is men-you. The E's dont match, and the N is in a different syllable in each word.

Hail Xenu! Propagate the thetans!

Hmm... does this mean I have to eat the afterbirth in a completely silent room to get my current account balance?

Thank God I already made that part of my calling routine!
