I was at my girlfriend's apartment last night, and one of her
roommates (whose name the phone is in), who is Chinese, got a call
from a telemarketer who first asked, in Cantonese, "Do you speak
Cantonese?"  She understood that well enough to say "No."  The
telemarketer then went on in Chinese asking if she wanted to switch to
MCI!!!

Boy, what kind of list did they get that number off of?
