So, yesterday I received a phone call.

It went approximately as follows.

Me: "Hello?"
Unidentified Woman: "Hello, Madam--"
Me: *raises eyebrows* No, not another survey.
UW: "--I'm calling to remind you that on the 3rd and 4th of April the local elections will take place--"
Me: "Yeah. Yeah, I know." ¹
UW: "--and, regardless of your political color², I'd like to suggest you to give your vote to a woman. To [name I don't remember], from Forza Italia."
Me: *jaw hanging*
UW: "So, remember to place a cross over Forza Italia's logo, and write [the name, again] beside--"
Me: "No, thanks."

And I hang the receiver. ( Now, point one: who the hell-- )

¹: At this point in time, I started to wonder whether it wasn't just a recorded message. (It wasn't, by the by.)

²: i.e., black or red. Idiomatic expression.
