Know how to ask the question...

By
Real Estate Agent

A simple question can many times be taken in a very wrong way....EXAMPLE

A couple from out west were driving through Wisconsin and came to the town of, Oconomowoc.

They were discussing how to pronounce it when they stop at a fast food place.  The blonde behind the counter asked for their order...

"The husband says..."Before we order...where are we and would you pronounce it slowly."

"Sure thing", she responded..."You are at Brrrr Grrrr King!"
