OMG, probe me instead!

I wonder what extraterrestrial “elevator” music is on the other end while still on hold.

So I guess this explains it. Doctors are aliens experimenting on us. I wonder what kind of music that phone will play while he waits…

“Meanwhile to help, you can soak yourself in the marinade to your left.”

Electronics from the past. I wonder if it’s a robocall.

LOL Clever

dang Uber.

“If you need immediate assistance, please press 1 for Mercurian, 2 for Venusian, 4 for Martian . . .”

A “land line” telephone in a spaceship?

“To expedite your probing, please remove outer garments and reach down and grab your ankles! Think warm thoughts!”

The automated interior of the flying saucer is, in Earth-relative terms, period-specific. Hence, the landline and probable “elevator” music. I hope that the ET is prompt. I hate to be kept waiting when making First Contact!

Sounds like a Vogon-run call center!
