VISA-vis

"Thomas Caaten?"
"Sorry, he's not in his office right now."
"Ok; I call back."

You can bet your turban he will. Death, taxes and VISA. I don't believe in death (well, bodily death, yes; eternal, no); you can evade taxes to an extent, especially if you are rich; but VISA's telemarketers will get through. You are on a life raft in the middle of the ocean after a rogue wave has sunk your ship and your cell phone rings. "Mr. Carten, we would like to help with your account insurance." You sit there stunned, watching the propellers disappear beneath the waves. "Well, I could use a new ship at this point, or maybe a Coast Guard helicopter or a C-130."

It doesn't matter what you say, because they will call again that afternoon, tomorrow at the latest. "Mr. Caahten, you can charge that C-130 transport to your VISA card, as we have raised your credit limit. You just need to agree to a 75% APR starting when they drop the cable."

Effers are probably paying these people five cents an hour and overcharging them for their rice lunch.

Meanwhile, back in Delaware, the Accounting Department has been poring over the weather and survival pages of the Singapore Daily Times. "Look here, one of them says," lifting his green eyeshade. "In areas where devastation was not 100% and people are trying to rebuild, they will work for four cents an hour and not break for lunch!"

The phone rings, but this time the caller has a different accent.
