Wal-Mart Prank Phone Calls

We were bored waiting at school for the boys spirit nite game to start. So we called 1-800-GOOG411 to get the number for Wal*Mart. This whole conversation was between me (Elijah) and the Wal*Mart employees.

Them: Wal-mart, How may I help you?
Me: Hi, will you transfer me to electronics please?
Them: Sure, one moment.
*Hold Music Plays for approx. 2 Minutes*
Them: Electronics.
Me: Hi, could you check if you have the newest Mariah Carey CD?
Them: Sure, one moment.
*Hold Music Plays for another 2 Minutes*
Them: Ummm...No, we don't sir.
Me: Well, actually I really enjoyed the hold music. Do you know what song that was?
Them: *heh* No, I don't.
Me: Ok...
Them: You see, all the hold music is controlled from the main plant in Arkansas.
Me: So I was transferred to Arkansas while I was on hold? That's not gonna cost me extra is it?
Them: *heh* No, They just decide what to play. They control the music and everything, even the temperature of the stores in Arkansas.
Me: So, you have no way of checking what song it was?
Them: No, sorry.
Me: Is there like a specific playlist or something for the hold music?
Them: Ummm...I'm not really sure.
Me: Well, do you sell like a Wal*Mart Hold Music CD?
Them: Ummm...Not that I know of sir.
Me: So, your sure you have no way of checking?
Them: No, I don't sir. I'd have to hear it for myself.
Me: Then why don't you put yourself on hold.
Them: *heh* we can't actually do that.
Me: OK then. Can you just put me back on hold so I can enjoy the song? I'll hang up when I'm done.
Them: *heh* Sure, have a nice day.
Me: Thanks.
*Same Hold Music from both previous holds plays.*
*Hangs Up.*

The rest is a snippet from another prank phone call.

Me: Do you sell toilets?
Them: No, but we sell parts.
Me: Do you have all the parts I would need to build a toilet?
Them: No, sorry. But you could try calling Pier 1. They sell toilets.
Me: Do you have their number?
Them: Ummm...No, I don't. I would have to look it up in a phone book.
Me: Hey, I don't have a phone book. Do you sell phone books?
Them: No, Sorry. Do you want me to look up their number?
Me: No, that's ok. I have a phone book right here. Thanks, Bye.
*Hangs Up*
