Costello Meets Echo by Yancey Grantham
Abbott: Well Costello, I just got the new Amazon device Echo.
Costello: Great, what is it called?
Abbott: Echo.
Costello: Echo.
Abbott: Echo.
Costello: Echo?
Abbott: Echo!
Costello: Echo??
Abbott: It is called Echo! It’s instructions say to keep it 8” from the wall.
Costello: Does that help the Echo?
Abbott: Yes, it helps the Echo not echo.
Costello: Echo not echo?
Abbott: When the Echo works that keeps it from too much echoing; makes it hear and sound better.
Costello: You don’t want your Echo to Echo?
Abbott: Let me show you how it works, you start by saying “Alexa.”
Costello: Alexa not Echo?
Abbott: Yes, you say “Alexa” to the Echo.
Costello: Like this “Alexa, Alexa?”
Abbott: No you only need to say it once.
Costello: Then how does it echo?
Abbott: The Echo hears the “Alexa” and wakes up.
Costello: Hello Alexa! Wake up!
Alexa: Good Morning.
Costello: It’s not morning.
Abbott: You don’t have to say “wake up” for it to hear you, just say “Alexa,” then say what you want.
Costello: Alexa, make Abbott make sense.
Alexa: Add ‘Make Abbott make sense.’ to your todo list?
Costello: Yes.
Abbott: No!
Abbott: Lets try it again. Let me show you, “Alexa hello.”
Alexa: Hello
Abbott: Now you try.
Costello: Hello Alexa.
Abbott: No, you have to say Alexa before you say hello.
Alexa: Sorry, I can’t find the answer to the question I heard.
Costello: See, she doesn’t understand you either.
Abbott: Alexa, play ‘Abbott and Costello.’
Alexa: Shuffling ‘Abbott and Costello’ from Prime Music.
