When we have telemarketers call my daughter grabs this musical egg which plays this twangy country music and let's it rip....the telemarketers hang up on us every time. There is a do not call list but not sure if Canada is included in it. I hate when those people call me late at night...or ever. I understand they have to make a living...next time one calls say: "How about you give me your home phone # and I will call you later and let you know if I want your product?" That is funny.

I can hear just fine.. and that's what he said.. for translation purposes.. you can translate it whatever way you please.. and I can do the same. In the end.. it means the same thing. You can never translate colloquial language properly. So spare me the lecture on proper translations. @Sentir
