- This happened to me the other day and I thought I'd share it with
- this group because this person's stupidity made me laugh.
- I received a phone call while I was home for lunch the other day.
- This woman says, "Hello, I'm calling from the Columbus Dispatch, could
- you tell me if you are subscribed to our paper?"
- I couldn't pass up this opportunity to point out stupidity.....
- I said, "Wait a minute, you are calling me from the paper and you
- don't know if I have a subscription?"
- She says, "this is the (tele)marketing department and we do not have
- that information."
- "Okay." [real modern organization i can see] "Yes, I have a
- subscription."
- "Well, I'm calling to see if you are satisfied with your service."
- I said, "No you aren't. A minute ago you didn't even know if I had a
- subscription, how could you be calling to ask about the quality of
- the service?"
- At this point, she was quite flustered, not expecting me to be so
- rational.
- I could tell she was upset with me, but hey, what an opportunity, right?
- So I answered the rest of her questions and she eagerly hung up the
- phone.
-
- Is it just me? Have I been watching Gallagher too much? Maybe I have
- been Gallagherized. But anyways, I had fun.
-
- Another event happened that day, but I will save that for another
- message.
-
- Objoke? Well I think that story was pretty amusing but okay.......
-
- slightly offensive............

- This guy walks into a bar and does a shot. Then he says "Bartender,
- who's the toughest guy in here, I'm ready to kick some ass."
- So a muscular fella comes up to him and says "I'll fight you."
- Well they go at it and the little guy wins.
- The next two nights.....same thing.....
- So the next night, the bartender is ready. He had gone to the local
- zoo and borrowed a gorilla for the evening. The gorilla was in a big
- cage at the end of the bar. So, sure enough, the little guy walks into
- the bar and orders a shot. The bartender leans over and says, "There's
- someone at the end of the bar waiting for ya, but take it outside
- because I'm tired of you busting up my place. So the guy and the gorilla
- go out behind the bar and all kinds of noises are heard.......
- [Imagine the {POW} and {KABLOOM} stuff from the batman series]
- About ten minutes later the little guy walks back into the bar and says,
- "When that nigger wakes up, tell him his fur coat is in the dumpster."
-

-
- Sorry if that offended anyone. I don't make 'em up, just re-tell 'em.
