When the Verizon guy asks "Can you hear me now," it's just to confirm that he has cured deafness. It's a miracle!

A study from the National Irony Foundation have shown that repeated listening to the question "Can you hear me now?" can result in permanant hearing loss.

the "can you hear me naw" guy was not being able to be hard.

Horace, as he read his boring book, did not know that he was about to be devoured by an enormous flying cheese; Inside the belly of the beast and after having all his flesh digested the book was still as boring.

Neither even acid rain nor a giant cheese monster could keep him from reading his autobiography. What an ego.
