Chat 6: Car shopping

-- Charles is chatting with operator Steve --

Charles> I'd like some price checks on a Cadillac Escalade.

Steve> Did you consider a hybrid car before you chose that?

Charles> Yeah, I looked at a Hummer.

Steve> How about something practical like a Toyota Echo?

Charles> I buy American first class.

Steve> What about the chromium?

Charles> What about chrome? Dark paint shows it off.

Steve> Well there's not a lot of it left. I just thought you might rather have it in the surgical instruments for your heart bypass instead of using it up in vulgar brightwork.

Charles> What bypass?

Steve> Never mind. Here's <cars.com>

Charles> thanks I think this is what I want.

Steve> We could look for a custom bumper-sticker shop so you could get "Clueless Culture-Polluting Neo-Imperialist Horse's Ass"

Charles> Say what's that? before horses ass

Steve> Go do your prices and come back. We'll look 'em up.
