That's not music. It's psychological warfare, Lois. They figure after you listen to enough Muzak you'll be so grateful by the time you get to actually talk to a person that you'll be putty in their hands.

Or ready to appropriate a bazooka from the nearest base and show them real warfare.

It just so happens I picked one of those up dirt cheap...You know, that thought is just not going to go anywhere safe for the general population.

So instead I'll ask who's got you in limbo?

You did, huh. Care to divulge the source?

Chamber of Commerce.

Lois Lane! I am not at all shocked! That you would ask such a question!

Why are you calling the Chamber of Commerce?

Brilliant performance! Really. I'd audition for the Metropolis Civic Opera if I were you.

... to see what they have to say in regards to some questions I have for them. And I'm considering buying and running my own bar.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week, be sure to try the veal.

Excuse me you're what?!

How about I trade in the veal for real food, like a burger?

Gotcha. I'm tracing a story involving several CC employees and the mob. No biggie.

Ahhh, but then what would you listen to while on hold?

The sweet sound of silence, my friend. Otherwise known as the regular chaos of a workday.

Ahhhh. Well, I'm very glad that my workdays aren't like that.

Yeah, most people don't They save those for the special people like me

So, what torturous job do you have that makes you listen to "on hold" music all day?

Reporter for the Daily Planet. How 'bout you?

Nice. I'm a freelance graphic designer.

So what kind of freelance graphic design? Like advertising, or something different.

The majority of my work is advertising, and then I have side projects where I'll do fliers, menus, business cards, stationery, that kind of stuff for people.

So you've always got a least one poker in the fire, if not more. Impressive.

Pretty much. It keeps me out of trouble.

Oh, where's the fun in that.

Oh, I don't know. There's a time and a place for fun.

Which is 'damn near always' in my book.
