I used to work as a customer service agent for an airport transportation company. It involved answering phones all day. For years, on Halloween, I’ve wanted to answer the phone in a ‘Bela Lugosi Dracula’ voice....just once. I never did. With my luck, it would’ve been someone who knew the company president.

Exactly, and if anyone dared object he could sue the pants off them

I agree he shouldn’t have been suspended.

He should have been fired.

“Should have tried to sound like an African-American Robot.”

He could’ve thrown in a few lisps and got some backup support from the GLBTQ community.

Sort of a reverse turing test.
