"Good morning! Is this The Apocalypse?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm calling on behalf of The Mayans. They're hosting a party to celebrate the end of an era, and they would like you to come."
"The Mayans? Awesome! When is it?"
"December 21, 2012."
"...That's in like, 2000 years. Why are you calling me so soon?"
"Earth has a very busy schedule, sir, and we had to plan ahead. I'm sure you understand."
"Yeah. Makes sense, I heard she's a busy lady. Well then, awesome, I've got it in my calendar."
"Excellent, Mr. Apocalypse. We'll see you then."

"Hello, Mr. Apocalypse?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm calling on behalf of the giant Earth party on December 21, 2012, hosted by The Mayans. Are you still planning to attend?"
"I --- yes...? I guess? I don't know, it's still on my calendar. The party's 1500 years from now. Nothing's changed."
"Glad to hear it, Mr. Apocalypse. Don't forget! We'll see you then."

"Hi there! Is this The Apocalypse?"
"Yep."
"Just calling to remind you about The Mayans' party on Decem--"
"December 21, 2012, yeah, I got it."
"You'll be there?"
"Yes. Yes, I'll be there. I've said I'll be there, I'll be there."
"Excellent! See you then."

"Hey, Apocalypse?"
"Yeah?"
"This is The Mayans. Still coming to our party? Only 500 years away!"
"Oh my god stop calling me."
------------------
"Is this The Apocalypse?"
"Yeah."
"Hey! it's Earth."
"Oh! Hey! What's up?"
"I was just wondering... have The Mayans been calling you, like... a lot lately?"
"YES! Oh my god, yes, for almost 2000 years now. It's really annoying."
"OHMIGOD I know. Like, I don't even want to go to their party anymore. I'm sorry I made the commitment, you know? I feel bad, but they're being, like...."
"Rude? Yeah, I know. I think we could still get out of it..."
"...They'd be totally pissed, though. Like, word's really gotten out about how huge this party's going to be. Everyone's talking about it."
"Well...But they'll get over it, though. You know?"
"That's true. Okay, phew, I'm SO relieved we're not going. Hey, you and I should throw a party some time!"
"Yeah! Absolutely! Let's just keep it low-key though and not tell anyone."
"Totally! When?"
