Disclaimer
I understand that it's wrong to ridicule someone because
of they way they talk or their grasp of the English
language. That's sincerely not why we found this message
hilarious. The thing is that there are maybe a dozen
words in the entire call that are identifiable with any
certainty.
I suppose there's a thin line between laughing at a voice
message and laughing at the person who made it; I
honestly feel that we were laughing at the message and
not the messenger. If you doubt that and are
offended, I apologize, but we must have played this
message fifty times over the next two weeks and found it
just as amusing each time. Anyway, I ended up working
with him for about a half hour, and though it was a
difficult conversation, he was a pleasant and intelligent
man and I treated him with
the respect he deserved.
That said, I love this recording. It's almost art. It is
bebop! What's the "owny woo" all about? And
"centimeter"? What could he possibly have been
saying there?!? I talked to him at length and I still
can't interpret most of this message. It's just a
fascinating call.
