You're a sadistic fiend.

Dude, you're insane. Who else would call Alain Ducasse in the persona of his Barbie doll?

See what I think is amazing about this whole thing is how insanely accomodating this woman is! I mean, look, here I am just being a silly bugger (or, to quote Jeremy, a "sadistic fiend") and this woman couldn't be nicer! There is nothing I can say to faze her. I was so ready to be hung up on and in the end she had me completely winded. It takes a lot to wind me! But, in a way, it's kind of sad that a place like Alain Ducasse would accomodate someone who "can't even look at a carb" and can't have food cooked "in butter, oil, or water." That's what I call service!
