This is an Actual conversation from an actual recent phone call...
(as closely recounted as my mind will recount)...
Disclaimer: This really was an actual event...I have spelled the words the way they sounded from "him". I am a professional...do not attempt this conversation without training...
me: "Hi, this Mike."
him: "Good evnin sir, these is Windows Techinical Sport"
(Insert here in your thought pattern: Tornado sirens...hurricane warning flags...redlights...chicken little...and that robot saying "danger...danger will robinson"...or like me... time for phone fun!)
me: "I do not need any windows."
him: "No sir...these is techinical sport for you windows puters"
me: "Well. we have Andersen Windows and they work really good"
him: "No sir..."
me interrupting him: "They are crank outs...except the one in the garage is a slider."
him: "SIR...your puter sir...the windows on your puter"
me: "No...our windows are all on the walls except for the ones in the doors"
him: "SIR"..."your windows on your puter"
me: "Ohhhhh...my computer. I dont have Andersen Windows on it...I only have a screen on my 'puter...it is an Apple 'puter...Gala or Macintosh...not sure which...do you like apples? You sound like you are from a long ways off. Where are you calling from?"
him: "That is not of your concern"
My Wife: "Hang up the damn phone and knock it off"
me: "Hey, my wife just said that you were supposed to hang up the damn phone and knock it off"
Wife rolls her eyes...shoots eye darts at me...
him: CLICK
me: Wiping tears from my eyes as I run laughing to the bathroom so I don't pee my pants...
Personal note: Having the call on speaker phone so your wife can enjoy the conversation is whole heartedly endorsed...even though it may not be welcomed by all in the room...especially your spouse!!
