Me: "AGENT"
System: "I think you said you need a vacation. I'll transfer you to AA Vacations."
Me: "AGENT!!!!"
System: "Hmm. I think you said, 'Donate.' I'll go ahead and donate all your miles to chAArity."
Me: "ARRRRGH!"
System: "Yes, Gerard AArpey is a great CEO. Thank you for calling American Airlines. A $20 automated telephone system fee is being charged to your primary credit card. Good Bye!"
