G,morning all,

Let me share this thought from kiwioenz{at}yahoo.com.au who wrote...

"In these days of rampant credit card fraud, you may also not be 
suprised there's the temptation out there for your local pizza 
driver to rip you off! (not saying they would)

Pizza Hit plainly print at the bottom of their DELIVERY receipts 
the following information about your credit card payment for all 
to see:

* Credit Card Type
* FULL Credit Card Number
* Expiry Date
* Credit Card Name

Make the most of Pizza Hutt, mug your pizza boy - not for his cash
(you're cleverly reminded on the same receipt that PLEASE NOTE OUR
DRIVERS DO NOT CARRY MORE THAN $20), but for his receipts.

If you're lucky you'll come away with a wad of valid credit card
details and get free pizzas for life!!!"

However, seems to me that he's missed the real point;  consider 
this conversation....

Operator: "Thank you for calling Pizza Hut. May I have your 
national ID number?"

Customer: "Hi, I'd like to place an order."

Operator: "May I have your NIDN first, sir?"

Customer: "My National ID Number, yeah, hold on, eh, it's
6102049998-45-54610."

Operator: "Thank you, Mr. Sheehan.  I see you live at 1742 
Meadowland Drive, and the phone number's 494-2366.  Your office 
number over at Lincoln Insurance is 745-2302, and your cell 
number's 266-2566.  Which number are you calling from, sir?"

Customer: "Huh?  I'm at home.  Where d'ya get all this information?"

Operator: "We're wired into the system, sir."

Customer: (Sighs) "Oh, well, I'd like to order a couple of your 
All-Meat Special pizzas."

Operator: "I don't think that's a good idea, sir."

Customer: "Whaddya mean?"

Operator: "Sir, your medical records indicate that you've got very 
high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol.  Your National 
Health Care provider won't allow such an unhealthy choice."

Customer: "Damn. What do you recommend, then?"

Operator: "You might try our low-fat Soybean Pizza.  I'm sure 
you'll like it."

Customer: "What makes you think I'd like something like that?"

Operator: "Well, you checked out 'Gourmet Soybean Recipes' from 
your local library last week, sir.  That's why I made the 
suggestion."

Customer: "All right, all right . Give me two family-sized ones, then."

Operator: "That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four 
kids, sir. Your total is $49.99."

Customer: "Lemme give you my credit card number."

Operator: "I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay in 
cash. Your credit card balance is over its limit."

Customer: "I'll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your 
driver gets here."

Operator: "That won't work either, sir.  Your checking account's
overdrawn."

Customer: "Never mind.  Just send the pizzas.  I'll have the cash 
ready. How long will it take?"

Operator: "We're running a little behind, sir.  It'll be about 45 
minutes, sir.  If you're in a hurry you might want to pick 'em up 
while you're out getting the cash, but carrying pizzas on a 
motorcycle can be a little awkward."

Customer: "How the hell do you know I'm riding a bike?"

Operator: "It says here you're in arrears on your car payments, so 
your car got repo'ed.  But your Harley's paid up.

Customer: "{at}#%/${at}&?#!&?#!"

Operator: "I'd advise watching your language, sir.  You've already 
got a July 2006 conviction for cussing out a cop."

Customer: (Speechless)

Operator: "Will there be anything else, sir?"

Customer: "Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 liter of Coke".

Operator: "I'm sorry sir, but our ad's exclusionary clause 
prevents us from offering free soda to diabetics."

..............

If you've rung Pizza Hut for the second time ever in NZ,  you'll 
know exactly what the conversation above is based upon...
