Today's @fesshole confession that made me giggle. I used to regularly dial into important meetings at a big four bank in a high pitched voice as 'Hitler' so the system would say 'Hitler...has joined the conference'. As soon as someone said 'sorry, who has joined?' I would leave, so it said 'Hitler...has left the conference" |
