Invoke Siri and say this phrase, very exactly, clearly and slowly:
"I see a little silhouette of a man". . .
See what Siri says in return. . .
“What is a Siri?”
It is an application on I-phones for people that want to talk to their cell phone. Sort of a voice activated search engine with a sexy female voice.
Apple was building on the tradition of Jane Barbe and Pat Fleet (those all too familiar “telephone voices”):

Somewhere I recall reading that the ChiComs used the syllable-breakup and reassemble technique to make Billy Jeff give a speech in Mandarin.
Sorry, can't find the link.
Popcorn!!
I have an older Windows phone. I call the voice thing “Sorry”. I never use it, but sometimes it bumps on and “listens” for a command. Then it says:
“Sorry - didn’t hear anything. Say ‘call mom’, ‘order pizza’...”
Stupid thing. I’ve wondered if I could sue Bill Gates and get some cash for mental anguish.
“My mom died three years ago. I loved my mom - she was the best mom every. The ONLY one I ever had. And just when I think I’m coming to terms with my loss....
“Sorry....say ‘call mom’!!!”
Agghhhhh!!!!!
I was at a friends house and they were having their “Alexa” (or whatever it is) tell stupid jokes.
I piped in and said “Alexa, tell me a joke about a Rabbi and a Priest.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know any jokes like that.”
Stupid PC programmers.
Nope. If I go too slow, she gets the words wrong or cuts me off, and when I say it so she gets the whole phrase, she does not understand.
However, when I tried asking about the woodchuck as another poster suggested, she said I should consult the manual.
You should also consult the FR manual.
Blame that on the iPad. Little tiny post button. I usually don’t use the iPad for posting.
Say “ hey Siri. What are you doing right now?” And see what she says.
” Just hanging out with Liam”. Or “just counting the nits on my iPad Pro...536, 537, 538...”. Were a couple of the answers I got. One time she responded to my query with “Thinking up snappy answers for jerks like you.” Oh yeah, she can get very sassy.
You are kidding, right?
Bill Gates is Microsoft.
IPhones are Apple products.
It is more fun to just ask SIRI why she is a useless POS.
If you insult Siri with a blue streak of choice profanity, she will shut down your phone for 24 hours.
No — another faux-ignorant remark by doorgunner69...
Who is Siri?
You can ask Siri, “Who is Siri”?
Well, that certainly got her started this morning. lol
Excellent way to start the day!!
