Tonight's Phone Survey
Me: Hello?
Friendly Hispanic Voice: Hello! May I please speak to Paulo or another household member 18 years or older?
Me: Paulo's not available, but I am over 18.
FHV: Would you be willing to answer a few questions? I am not selling anything.
Me: OK.
FHV: I am calling to conduct a brief survey of Hispanic households in your area. This survey will only take a few minutes of your time..
Me: Excuse me, but no one in this house is Hispanic. Paulo is Portuguese and I'm a mutt.
FHV: Well. Is anyone there religion?
Me: Um, you mean religious? Well, we're Catholic...
FHV: And you are over 18?
Me: Yes.
FHV: Would you mind answering a few questions for us? It would only take a few minutes of your time.
Me: OK.
FHV: Would you prefer to answer these questions in Spanish or English?
Me: English, since I don't speak Spanish.
FHV: And you said that you are not Hispanic?
Me: That's right.
FHV: Well thank you very much for your time and have a nice night!
