RANDOM NOTHINGNESS

I was calling an insurance company to inquire on a performance bond which our client requires so we can close our contract.  With no knowledge whatsoever on which department to inquire on, I dialed the insurance company's trunk line number.  Here is the exchange of responses between me and their answering machine.

Machine  :Thank you for calling <company name withheld =P>.  

               For our on-line policy inquiry, press 1.

               If you know the extension number of the person you wish to speak with, please dial it now.

               For our directory, dial 9.

               For assistance, dial 0.

Me          :*pressed 9

Machine  :For Customer Service, dial 1.

               For Marketing, dial 2.

               For underwriting, dial 3.

               Enter your desired option.

Machine  :You have entered 2, if that is correct, press 1.

Machine  :You have entered 1, if that is correct, press 1.
