I guess a recorded phone message playing in your ear could be considered a form of conversation.

Today I was left a message from a call center in India. The man was named Janel, and he left me a brief message.  At the end of the recording he said,”Have a gay day.”

I listened to it over and over to see if he said “great day.”   But no, it was “gay day.”  I asked Eileen for a second opinion, and she agreed as to what he said.
