Talking Ordering Pizza

Here it is...very late on a Saturday night...and you've got the munchies...yeah, so what else is new? Gonna' get to the phone and order a pizza? Maybe these hints can make it a more interesting experience for both you and the person on the other end of the line. Enjoy!

OVER 100 WAYS TO ORDER A PIZZA

1. If using a touch-tone phone, press random numbers while ordering. Ask the person taking the order to stop doing that.
2. Make up a charge-card name. Ask if they accept it.
3. Use CB lingo when ordering.
4. Order a Big Mac Extra Value Meal.
5. Terminate the call with, “Remember, we never had this conversation.”
6. Tell the order taker a rival pizza place is on the other line and you’re going with the lowest bidder.
7. Give them your address, and when they ask what you want, exclaim, “Oh, just surprise me!” and hang up.
8. Answer their questions with questions.
9. In your breathiest voice, tell them to cut the crap about nutrition and ask if they have something outlandishly sinful.
10. Use these bonus words in the conversation: ROBUST, FREE-SPIRITED, PUCE, UKRAINIAN, COST-EFFICIENT.
11. Tell them to put the crust on top this time.
12. Sing your order to the tune of your favourite song from Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” CD.
13. Do not name the toppings you want. Rather, spell them out.
14. Put an extra, slightly maniacal, edge in your voice when you say, “crazy bread.”
15. Stutter on the letter “P”.
16. Ask for a deal available at another pizza outlet, like, “Regular price, five bucks, five bucks, five bucks.”
17. Ask what the order taker is wearing.
18. Crack your knuckles into the receiver.
19. Say hello, act stunned for five seconds, then behave as if they had called you.
20. Rattle off your order with a determined air. If they ask if you would like soft drinks with that, panic and act disoriented.
21. Tell the order taker you’re depressed. Try to get him/her to cheer you up.
22. Make a list of exotic dishes. Order them as toppings.
23. Change your accent every three seconds.
24. Order 52 pepperoni slices, prepared in a fractal pattern as follows, from an advanced trigonometric formula you are about to dictate. Ask if they need paper.
25. Act like you know the order taker from somewhere. Say, “Bed-wetters camp, right?”
26. Start your order with, “I’d like...” A little later, slap yourself loudly and say, “No, I don’t.”
27. If they repeat the order to make sure they have it right, say, “Okay, that’ll be $16.95; please pull up at the first window,”
28. Rent a pizza.
29. Order while using an electric knife sharpener.
30. Ask if you get to keep the pizza box. When they say yes, heave a loud sigh of relief.
31. Put the accent on the last syllable of “pepperoni.” Use the long “i” sound.
32. Order your pizza, “Shaken, not stirred.”
33. Imitate the order taker’s voice.
34. Say, "And yes, I'd like fries with that."
35. Say, “Are you sure this is (Pizza store)? When they say yes, say, “Well, so is this. You’ve got some explaining to do!” When they finally offer proof that this is, in fact (Pizza store) start to cry and ask, “Do you know what it’s like to be lied to?”
36. Move the mouthpiece farther and farther away from your lips as you speak. When the call is ending, jerk the mouthpiece back into place and scream goodbye at the top of your lungs.
37. Tell them to check to make sure your pizza is, in fact dead.
38. Eliminate verbs from your speech.
39. When they say, “What would you like?”, say, “Huh, you mean me?”
40. Play a sitar in the background.

51. Doze off in the middle of the order, snoring loudly, catch yourself, and say, “Where was I? Who are you?”

75. Detect the order taker’s psychic aura. Use it to your psychological advantage.
76. When listing the toppings you want on your pizza, include another pizza.
77. Learn to play a blues riff on the harmonica. Stop talking at regular intervals to play it into the phone.
78. Ask if they would like to sample your homemade pizza. Suggest an even trade.

80. Put them on hold.
81. Teach the order taker a secret code. Use the special language on all subsequent orders.
82. Mumble, “There’s a bomb under your seat.” When they ask you to repeat what you said, say, “Sauce smothered with meat.”

I think you can relax, Mofi. I rather doubt that anybody who frequents this board is stupid enough to actually do any of these things. It's a joke...chill out.
