I don't know if this qualifies as bizarre enough to compete with the above,
but the other day I went into a local hotel to use their pay phone.  The hotel
was playing the usual sickeningly plastic muzak.  The company I called put
me on hold and played the exact same muzak over the phone!  It was sort of
like quadraphonic.....a truly memorable experience.
