" id like to talk to your superiors " that would be capt. black. lt green,,, these are names that i know from a puppet show i saw as a kid called capt scarlet and the mystrons . hem lo blow. they get them at our local pd too also . another fave . my healthcare worker and i were in a elevator at my apartment complex and the car warrenty one was coming over the emergency phone speaker .
