"Welcome to the Brotha Hustle Bill Payment Extension Phone Service. All you need is a pre-paid cell phone, and you can take advantage of this convenient way to ask for more time to pay your overdue bills.

"Our founder, Brotha Hustle, understands that the working, middle and poor classes are a paycheck away from home/apartment eviction, car repossession and utility disconnection. As gas prices go up, so does the desperation and stress of financially challenged individuals who play Russian roulette with their checking accounts.

"Relax! Here's your opportunity to receive grace from those you owe with the Brotha Hustle Bill Payment Extension Phone Service.

"Press 1 for English. (Please note: Our service in Spanish has been temporarily discontinued because of the U.S. immigration issue.)

"If you need more time to pay your bill because your crack-head neighbor stole your bill-money from the secret wall safe hidden behind the framed picture of Abe Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, press 3.

"If you need more time to pay because you used bill-money to fill your car's gas tank so that you could commute to work, press 4.

"If you need more time to pay because you have loaned your unemployed relative money to buy a nice suit for his/her first job interview, press 5.

"Need more time to pay because you need more time? Press 7, and hope for the best."
