We did a schoolwide mock election in High School (year=2000). Our team had Pat Buchanan. We made a video ad in which someone choking on food dialed 911. She got "Press 1 for Spanish, Press 2 for Chinese, Press 3 for Swahili, ..." and on and on and on until she choked to death.

Our team got in big trouble for putting that ad together.

This was before 9/11 and the humor was much more good natured honestly.

It was along the lines of

"Would you like the pork noodle or the pork rice?"

and

"Excuse me, but can you tell me which way is Mecca?"

You were ahead of the curve, ahead of your time

if only Pat Buchanan had been elected

Great ad. You should have gotten cushy campaign jobs out of that.

The best part was the operator continuing to drone on after she's dead on the floor

drone as a verb or a noun?
