This is too cute.
- Call National Discount Brokers at 1-800-888-3999.
- Listen to the options. Be sure to listen to what
option #7 says before you push the number 7. - When you hear #7, hit 7.
Every company should have an option #7.
I didn’t get any options, I just got an operator.
Has that been going around? Because last week one of the boys in my dorm was running up and down the hall telling people to call the number. I wonder if they’ve been swamped.
Incidentally, there’s a long list of options. Then when you get to #7, it says “to hear a duck quack, press 7.” It’s worth listening to.
This has been all over the place recently. I saw it on 4 different boards in the past 2 days. I also remember someone talking about this company last year sometime. It’s like that tobbaco company one. Anybody got the number for that one?
It worked for me! Really funny…
Played it on speaker phone and the whole office cracked up!
Way back in the day, I posted a similar thread about a customer service line that was also as funny!
I tried the number in that thread, and it’s a normal message now… 
Yer pal,
Satan

That’s too funny. As soon as the duck quacked the line disconnected… was that supposed to happen?
Methinks that not really a duck!
I remember that one too, but I don’t remember what was funny about it or the number.
1-800-578-7453 used to be funny, but they’ve changed it. It’s a tobacco company of some sort. The opening message was a recording saying that they love you and want to be your friend. And that you should only buy tobacco from them because the other tobacco companies hate you and talk about you behind your back. They know, because they asked them. Really funny. I wish it still worked.

Reminds me of the joke about the shrink’s phone menu:
something like this:
If you’re an egotist, press *number 1/i]
If you’re anal-retentive, press number 2
If you’re a spit personality press 3 & 4
If you’re depressed press 0
If you’re paranoid, say nothing but wait for me to pick up first
If you’re claustophobic, get out of that phone booth

QuickSilver, that’s funny!
What’s not funny is what their stock has done on the last year - shot up to ~90, then back down into the 20ies. Now made a comeback, but still way short. Should have sold…
Hm. It was not 3 hours ago that a cow-orker of mine gave me that number to call for big laffs. Synchronicity? Someone in the company reading the boards? The mind boggles.
It sounded more like a hunter’s duck call rather than a duck. But it was pretty funny!
I have recorded it and posted it here.
Heh. I will be sending this to everyone I know. Heh.
lmao For some reason I find that incredibly funny. I’m still laughing. Maybe I just need more sleep.
They just played it on Star 98.7 in LA.
Man.
I can’t tell you how many times I NEEDED to hear a duck quack while I was talking to someone on the phone, but I JUST COULDN’T DO IT! Thank goodness for that number!
