Chirpy Telemarketer: Hello! May I speak to Lynn, please?
Me: This is.
CT: Hi! This is Jane from [some telemarketing company]! I'm calling because one of your friends told us you like wine, and we wanted to talk to you about that!
Me: [temporarily speechless and trying not to laugh outright]
CT: Which do you prefer, red or white?
Me: Well, honey, I don't know who told you I like wine. I'm a recovering alcoholic. I'll be sober 19 years on the 15th.
CT: OH! oh! well gee! well! congratulations! OK bye!
I'm wondering who the "friend" was. Must be someone who knew me 20 years ago, in which case the answer to "red or white" would have been, "Whatever you've got."
