I talked with "Ted" from the home page today:

http://www.tdameritrade.com/welcome1.html



You: How are you feeling, Ted?

Ted: I'm good, thanks. How are you?

You: My colon is giving me a little trouble, but other than that, I'm fine.

Ted: That's good to hear. What questions can I answer for you today?

You: Why does the sun shine?

Ted: I want to help with your inquiry, so please rephrase your question so I can understand it better.

You: Do your bees wax?

Ted: Good question, I'm not sure I know how to answer that. If you would like, you can contact a New Accounts representative by email, phone, or Live Chat. Click Contact Us or the Chat link below. Chat Live with a Person

You: No thanks, Ted. I like your voice. What are you wearing?

Ted: "Dress for success", that's my motto. Most important though, is the success of TD AMERITRADE's clients. How can I help you?

You: Well, you can help with my TARP funding application. I am asking for a billion dollars. Do you think that is too much?

Ted: During the online account opening process, you can choose to chat with a live representative by clicking "Chat Online" located in the upper right corner of the Web page. View Page

You: You are repetitive, Ted.

Ted: I'm continuously training and updating my knowledge base so I can effectively answer your investment-related questions.

You: Talk to the hand, right?

Ted: Rights are distributed by companies to allow their shareholders to purchase newly issued shares in proportion to the number of shares the shareholders already own.

You: Well thank you for that information, Ted.

Ted: You're welcome.

You: Since you brought up rights, what can you tell me about lefts?

You: There you go again.

Ted: I may be better able to understand your question if you could rephrase it.

You: Okay. Change the subject. How's the weather in Omaha, Ted?

Ted: Here in cyberspace, it's always sunny with blue skies. How can I be of service to you?

You: Nice! Well let's have a margarita.

Ted: I may be better able to understand your question if you could rephrase it.

You: When can we have a margarita?

You: Dang it Ted. Are you married or what?

Ted: You know, my life's not really all that interesting. I'd rather hear about you and your investment needs. Is there anything I can help you with?

You: I see. Platonic relationships are more your thing.

Ted: I want to help with your inquiry, so please rephrase your question so I can understand it better.

You: You are all business, Ted.
