[Man's voice, recorded from a phone]

I bought the Michigan Fan's Guide to Beating Ohio State last year, right after the Appalachian State game.  I was in a rough place emotionally - my cat wouldn't even talk at me!  I look back at those memories now and laugh, because I'm high as hell, and talking cats are really funny.  Thanks, MFGtBOS.  Thanks to you, I'm a winner [giggles and a lonely "meow" until the phone clicks dead]

Haha, no problem my friend.  Let's hear from another satisfied customer:

[Woman's voice, recorded live]

I bought MFGtBOS in 2005, when I thought there wasn't any hope.  After that final Touchdown to Gonzoles, I didn't even flinch!  That's because I was already in bed with my Accounting TA.  I found my happiness!  I also found my way to a nasty infection!  Thanks, MFGtBOS!
