For weeks I've been getting calls from "Joe," who's selling some sort of Medicare supplement. He sounds the same each time he calls, and I'm convinced it's a recording. Last week when he asked how I was I told him that the leprosy had finally claimed my nose; he said he hoped I'd feel better. Today I told him he wasn't real, he was a recording. He laughed a very strange laugh and said he was real, but I'm convinced it was a prerecorded response.
