One day our HKID card might end up like
this
Operator
: "Thank you for calling Pizza Hut. May I have your......"
Customer
: "Hello, can I order......"
Operator
: "Can I have your ID card number first, Sir?"
Customer:
"It's eh..., hold on...E123456."
Operator
: "OK... you're... Mr Lee and you're calling from 217 King's Road. Your
home number is 2409 2366, your office 2645 2302 and your mobile is 9523 2662.
Which number are you calling from now, Sir?"
Customer
: "Home! How did you get all my phone numbers?"
Operator
: "We are connected to the system, Sir."
Customer
: "May I order your Seafood Pizza?"
Operator
: "That's not a good idea, Sir."
Customer
: "How come?"
Operator
: "According to your medical records, you have high blood pressure and
even higher cholesterol level, Sir."
Customer
: "What...? What do you recommend then?"
Operator
: "Try our Low Fat Hokkien Mee Pizza. You'll like it!"
Customer
: "How do you know for sure?"
Operator
: "You borrowed a book entitled "Popular Hokkien Dishes" from
library last week, Sir."
Customer
: "OK, I give up... Give me three family size ones then, how much will
that cost?"
Operator
: "That should be enough for your family of 10, Sir. The total is
$297."
Customer
: "Can I pay by credit card?"
Operator
: "I'm afraid you have to pay us cash, Sir. Your credit card is over the
limit and you owe your bank $3,720.55 since May. That's not including the late
payment charges on your housing loan, Sir."
Customer
: "I guess I have to run to the neighbourhood ATM and withdraw some cash
before your guy arrives."
Operator
: "You can't, Sir. Based on the records, you've reached your daily limit
on machine withdrawal today."
Customer
: "Fuck!"
Operator
: "Better watch your language, Sir! Remember on 15th July 1994 you were
convicted of using abusive language on a policeman......"
"Is
there anything else, Sir?"
Customer
: [Speechless]
