It's nice
that you gave him obvious questions to ease him into it. If you'd brought up a conflagration between a ninja grizzly and machine-gun carrying panther, it's likely you'd still be on the phone.

I concur...
I also had a similar conversation along the lines of who'd win in a fight between an orange and a banana.

The guy on the phone was convinced that the banana would win because the orange would slip on the bananas skin.

He almost had me until I said:
"Yeah, but oranges don't have feet.."

and I got the reply:
"sir, you've just made my day.."

I never did switch my phone to 02.
