Mrs. F:  Yes...(aside)'ey, turn that down, I'm on the TV.  I mean, on the phone. Yes.

"L": Hello.

Mrs. F:  Hi.

"L":  Are you interested in taking a survey for my magazine?

Mrs. F:  Uh, yes, uh-huh.

"L":  Okay.  Um, it's about men who wear kilts...

Mrs. F:  Mmm...what's the name of it again?

"L":  The name of the magazine?

Mrs. F:  Uh, yes, uh-huh.

"L":  GNAW.

Mrs. F:  Uh-huh.

"L":  Okay?

Mrs. F:  Okay.

"L":  Uh...okay, first question.  Uh, what do you think of men who wear kilts?

Mrs. F:  Mmm...I don't really have no opinion about that.

"L":  Really?  Uh, would you date a man who wore a kilt?

Mrs. F:  Nope.

"L":  No, you wouldn't?

Mrs. F:  Uh-uh.

"L":  Oh, do you think kilts are offensive in any way?

Mrs. F:  Somewhat.

"L":  Really?

Mrs. F:  Uh-huh.

"L":  Um, are you married?

Mrs. F:  Yes, uh-huh.

"L":  Uh, what would you do if your husband wore a kilt?

Mrs. F:  Well, not 'round me, heh...

"L":  Yeah, uh...would you be seen with him in public if he was wearing a kilt?

Mrs. F:  N...nope, I won't be seen with him.

"L":  Have you ever seen a man in person wearing a kilt?

Mrs. F:  N...no, not really, no, no.

"L":  Do you think that your opinion of a person wearing a kilt in public would be different

than if he wasn't wearing a kilt?

Mrs. F:  N-ah, uh, yeah.

"L":  Okay, and has your view on men who wear kilts been changed in any way by this conversation?

Mrs. F:  Excuse me?  Wait, hold on a minute.  (aside) Turn that down, I'm on the telephone, okay?

Turn it...TURN IT DOWN.

Now, wha'd you say?

"L":  Um, has this conversation changed your views on kilts in any way?

Mrs. F:  N....o, uh-uh.  

"L":  Okay.  Thank you for your time, that's it.  

Mrs. F:  Okay, thank you.

"L":  Buh-bye.
