My father-in-law sent this to me via email, it's pretty funny:

ORDERING NAVAJO TACO IN 2008

This is so close to what is probably going to be happening in 2008 that
we're not sure how funny this really is...


Operator: Thank you for calling Fry Bread House Hut. May I have your
Navajo enrollment number and national ID number?

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

Operator: I must have your NIDN first, sir.

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

Operator: Thank you Mr Smith. I see you live at Coppermine Road Drive,
and the phone number is 494-2366. Your office number over at Farmer
Insurance is 745-2302 and your cell number is 266-2566. Email address
is
sheepherder@home.net <mailto:sheepherder@home.net> . Which number are
you calling from sir?

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

Operator: We're wired into the HSS, sir.

Customer: The HSS, what is that?

Operator: We're wired into the Homeland Security System, sir. This will
add only 15 seconds to your ordering time.

Customer: (sighs) Oh well, I'd like to order a couple of your All-Meat
Special Navajo Taco.

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

Customer: Whaddya mean?

Operator: Sir, your medical records at IHS and commode sensors 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: What?!?! What do you recommend, then?

Operator: You might try our low-fat Soybean Navajo Taco. 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.
Your 2 dogs can finish the crusts, 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 is
overdrawn also.

Customer: Never mind! Just send the Navajo Taco. 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 then, carrying taco on a motorcycle can be a
little awkward.

Customer: Wait! How do you know I ride a scooter?

Operator: It says here you're in arrears on your car payments, so your
car got repo'ed. But your Harley's paid for and you just filled the
tank
yesterday.

Customer: Well, I'll be a #%#^^&$%^$@#

Operator: I'd advise watching your language, sir. You've already got a
July 4, 2003 conviction for cussing out a Navajo DPS cop and another
one
I see here in September for contempt at your hearing for cussing at a
judge on the rez. Oh yes, I see here that you just got out from a 90
day
stay in the State Correctional Facility. Is this your first Navajo taco
since your return to society?

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. The New Constitution prohibits
this. Thank you for calling Fry Bread Hut.
