You know what IS fun?

*phone rings, I answer*
Me: Moshi moshi, Tanaka desu. [Hello, this is Tanaka.]
Guy: ...Hello?
Me: Hai! [Yes!]
Guy: Hello sir, would you like to participate in a survey today?
Me: Eh, sumimasen... Eigo wo hanashimasen. [Uh, I'm sorry... I don't speak English.]
Guy: ...So would you like to take the survey?
Me: Iie, kekko desu. [No, I'm fine.]
Guy: What year were you born, sir?
Me: Etto... anata wa kaizoku desu ka? [Um... are you a pirate?]
Guy: ...Ok, I'll just call back later.
Me: Arigatou! [Thanks!]
*guy hangs up, my family bursts out laughing*
