While working on a proposed cultural exchange with Russia, I had the opportunity to deal with the United States Department of State. Of the multitude of phone calls that I made, only one human ever made contact with me, Sheila. However, as it turned out... the program Sheila was involved in, Internet Access and Training Program (IATP) , did not cover the city in question (Rostov-on-Don). The reason she quoted: Rostov is too far south. When I asked who could help me, she offered me more phone numbers. But, when I said that I tried those numbers... and, the phone just rings, and rings, and rings... she said, "well, you will not get humans at any of these numbers."
Ahh... extenuating circumstances. The little things that get in the way. The remotest of chances prevents you from moving forward. But, hey wait! Maybe you can use that same principle to your advantate?
It's about if's and's and but's... and the slightest chance that you can make your dreams come true:
Are there any extenuating circumstances?
Have you heard of Rostov?
"Ahh... Rostov-on-Don,
It's begun,
Are there any extenuating circumstances?
Stop! Wait, please!
Stop! Time, cease!
Could I apply this theory to me?
Are there any extenuating circumstances?
Sheila,
"More numbers for you,
Humans... there are none."
It's begun,
Any "if's, and's, or but's"?
The remotest of chances?
I only deal above."
Extenuating circumstances,
Civil service tribal dances,
Extenuating circumstances,
Won't rain down on my chances!
Any "if's, and's, or but's"?
The remotest of chances?
Turn the slightest of chances,
Into the dream for all to see?
Any "if's, and's, or but's"?
The remotest of chances?
You're the only one,
To return my call,
Is there anyone,
That can help me at all?
Though you won't get through.
Extenuating circumstances,
Civil service tribal dances,
Extenuating circumstances,
Won't rain down on my chances!
