NYU Student Ends Up On Phone With President Barack Obama After Long String of Transfers

After a series of “please hold”s and “let me transfer you to this number”s, sophomore Michael Linden (Tisch) ended up having a rather productive conversation with President Barack Obama, leader of the free world. In a statement made earlier today, Linden expressed that he “was just trying to figure out my housing for next year. So I called whatever number was in that email. They transferred me to this girl, who transferred me to that guy and before I knew it- Obama picked up!

It turns out Linden was redirected on the telephone line a total of 34 times. He circulated every department of NYU at least twice, and by the end of the chain, someone hooked him right up to the White House hotline. The president was in a high profile, top-secret security meeting discussing the imminent threat of Russian Nuclear Missiles when he received the call. Nevertheless, Mr. Obama talked with Linden about housing. Apparently, when Obama took office he read the President’s  “Book of Secrets” – which cracks the code on how to get someone to actually pick up the fucking phone and answer your fucking questions at NYU.

Linden was sworn to secrecy upon hearing the president’s wise words, but hopes that one day the Freedom of Information act will help future NYU students in their hopeless efforts to just figure out what’s going on.
