I received an overseas call this morning
Just in case I was under surveillance I said, in the middle of a conversation to an international shop owner, and completely out of the blue, "Bush Sucks" and she responded, "I know." And then we went on with our transaction as if never happened.

5. I wonder if they were listening in
on the Yellow Pages call I got from India today? Those poor Indians must hate talking to me. I'm never the person they're looking for and I never give them the answers they want. And I alway hang up just before they finish their business, whatever their business is.

8. Wow - that takes me back
to when hubby #1 was in the Navy back in the 70's..... we'd always say "F--k Hoover" during our phone conversations when he onboard the ship.

And when he was deployed to the Med, we'd write "FTN" or "The Navy cares nothing about families" on the back of our envelopes. (FTN: F--k the Navy)

I am not sure where we are anymore. If this is not hell, we are at least through the looking glass where the bad guys were the white hats (and the good guys are wire-tapped).

They are having a heck of a time breaking the code.

19. For the past five years, I've been adding a Big "Hello, FBI!"
Edited on Fri Dec-23-05 07:24 PM by mcscajun
"CIA, and anyone else who's listening!" to any phone call I have where politics is discussed, or I mention any of the Hot Words that might trigger Carnivore. :)

"Fuck Cheney" and "Bush Sucks" also manages to sneak in there from time to time. If I happen to even stray near anything that could remotely be considered "a threat to the President" (like that phrase, indeed!) I put in "Hey, Secret Service! Just Kidding!" I know they have NO sense of humor, but still... :evilgrin:

I don't wear a :tinfoilhat: but it pays to have fun just in case they are listening in. :rofl:

25. That cracks me up!
My mom has also been doing that a number of years. I have an account on AOL, and my mother sends me funny and enlightening DU conversations. Many times the e-mail is held up for days--or not received at all. We have assumed we are monitored by the administration for our liberal view points.

36. Hee hee....my friends and I are just going to say "Hi Agent Mike!" Then I
think I'll start adding "doesn't it suck to be a brownshirt for a fascist administration and be pissing all over the 4th Amendment? What a feeling of impotence that must cause to be under orders to spy on your fellow citizens for the sociopath in the white house posing as the King of the World".

A few Fuck Bush's will also be in order these days...I am so pissed, I don't care if ANYONE hears me say what Mofo's I think the occupants of the White House....

phone calls, emails, or protestors on his front lawn, how else can we communicate with the bastard?

33. Good point!
We may be on to something. Our phone calls could serve a dual purpose. The obvious purpose as well as speaking to the president!

31. I do that sometimes (because my family has government people)
My sister is Homeland Security -- in fact, I'm typing this on her government laptop right now. I sometimes leave notes for the inevitable surveillance...

37. Good one;
I'm glad they don't, but if my children still lived in Gremany I would try stuff like that. My children know I'm a bit off anyway.

Happy Holidays!

39. for Google alerts, I have 'George W Bush is dead';
And every day alerts come in. Amazing how many news items have w and dead in the same context. I'm also wondering if it was that day I signed up for the service, or soon after that I was picked up by homeless security?
