*Receptionist:* Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you?
*Customer*: Hello. I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number. *Receptionist*: Yes! I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November. But I can help you. *Customer*: Thanks, I ordered a "Spring Bouquet" for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife. *Receptionist*: Interrupting, Sir, "Spring Bouquets" do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses. *Customer*: But I have always ordered "Spring Bouquets", done it for years, my wife likes them. *Receptionist:* Roses are better, sir, I am sure your wife will love them. *Customer*: Well, how much are they? *Receptionist:* It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package. *Customer:* What's the difference? *Receptionist:* 6, 12,18 or 24 Red Roses. *Customer:* The Silver package may be okay, how much is it? *Receptionist:* It depends sir, what is your monthly income? *Customer:* What does that have to do with anything? *Receptionist:* I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out-of-pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department. *Customer:* FlowerAid? *Receptionist:* Yes, Flowers are a right. Everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can't afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge. *Customer:* Who said they were a right? *Receptionist:* Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it constitutional. *Customer:* Whoa! I don't remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding *flowers* as a *right*. *Receptionist:* It is not really a “Right in the Constitution,” but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a "Tax". Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a right. *Customer:* I don't believe this. *Receptionist:* It's the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir? *Customer:* Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year. *Receptionist:* In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income. *Customer:* Why? *Receptionist:* To determine what your 'non-participation' cost would be. *Customer:* WHAT? You can't charge me for NOT buying flowers! *Receptionist:* It's the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It's $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income. *Customer interrupting:* This is ridiculous, I'll pay the $9.50. *Receptionist:* Sir, it is $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater. *Customer:* ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a rip-off! *Receptionist:* Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%. *Customer:* Look, I'm going to call my Congressman to find out what's going on here. This is ridiculous. I'm not going to pay it. *Receptionist:* Sorry to hear that sir. That's why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone you are using. *Customer:* Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING? *Receptionist:* So they get your GPS coordinates sir. Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door *Receptionist:* That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers.
