Machinator, are you there?

Uncle Coleslaw wonders how long he's been using a phone with a dead manipulator. Recently he answered his phone and a voice began a sales spiel, ending with instructions for him to "skedaddle 2" to learn even more from an "alive operator."

First of all, he didn't have a 2 to push.

The most outstanding and only coleslaw anecdote I have (I bet that is the first culture you have decipher those words today) was when we visited our French girlfriend right after she had returned from living in Australia.
