Talking Without a License

Some people shouldn't be allowed to.

In an attempt to track down some exhibitor information for a trade
show my employer is attending, I called the rep for the company that's
organizing it, in Atlanta GA. I missed him when he returned my call
this morning, so he left a message letting me know the the exhibitor
kits were being 'assimilated' today, and asking me to give him a call
back as he'd love to open a dialogue with me to solicit feedback.

I'm guessing he's a recent business school grad. Or a Borg.

Himself suggested that an appropriate response would be "Assimilate
and dialogue my ASS, sucker!"

I'd be tempted, if it wouldn't ruin my reputation as a terminally
polite Canadian.
