Speak to me

Voice activation is cool. All the new toys have it--phones, cars and very soon, toothbrushes (I'm sure, just wait and see). Husband started making grocery list on his phone using dictation as I sat and surfed. Here's what I heard:

Hu: Hey babe, so what do we need from Safeway?
Me: Bread.
Hu: (to phone) Bread
Phone: Greg
Hu: No, W-h-i-t-e bread
Phone: W-h-i-t-e greg
Hu: Baguette frikkin bread
Phone: My bed forgetting that
Hu: Fine, I'll just type it. Types out bread.
Hu: Okay, what else do we need?
Me: Orange juice.
Hu (to phone): Orange juice
Phone: Fine jews
Hu: Or-an-ge juice
Phone: You are fine jews

We are all laughing uncontrollably by now. After all, what can beat "get white greg"? So there you have our grocery list for this week--white greg and fine jews. I wonder what "contact lens solution" means in dictationese?
