gilbert? is that you?
I just took a call from a user that had me at a loss for words. The entire time I was on the phone with her, there was an incredibly loud and annoying bird squaking in the background. In fact, it was so irritating, I have to assume that it was actually on the shoulder of the person I was talking to.
There are only three reasons this is acceptable:
1. She has never talked on a phone before
2. She is a pirate.
3. She is Jaffar, and Iago is trying to sell me Aflac insurance.
Using the process of elimination, I think I just helped a pirate with their computer for the first time. Which is good, because now she can get back to plundering.

sounds like computer trouble is the least of that pirate's problems.

Ninjas are way cooler. If you heard a parrot in a ninjas phone call, it's cause he just killed a pirate.

Disney bought Aflac too? WTF? When did this happen? First my marvel comics, now my insurance?
I better not see that damn bird The Magic Kingdom!
