Truth is funnier than fiction



The other day my mobile phone died. So I took it into AT&T and asked what they could do. The answer was simple, buy a new one. Silly me I asked if they could repair my present phone. I won’t say my service agent was disrespectable, but he sure looked at me in strange way.

You know what came next, what kind of phone you want. You know I hadn’t really thought about that question on till he asked.

Will I had to get thinking and while I was thinking he, the service agent, started to show me what could replace my defunct phone. There was a great variety of shapes and colors. Then I asked the big question, which was ,do these get e-mail. The answer was no.

Here are the ones that can give you E-mail and by the way we have this great offer on the newest Blackberry. You know I always wanted a Blackberry. Maybe it is because I wanted to feel important. Like I have to check me E-mail, yes that what I say to show other that I am important.

You know I never had many calls on my other mobile and when I did I was on the golf course and was a wrong number. I am not kitting anyone I just wanted a new toy.
Here is when the fun started. I started to try to use my new Blackberry. With directions in hand I started. You know I can understand any directions let alone mobile phone ones.

You know what I did I start pushing buttons’ and to see what would happen. As you might expect things were happening, I just didn’t know it.

Our phone rang and Micki picked it up and thought it was Todd, our son in Dallas, and started with many questions. Then the person on the on the line finally got a word in and said he was not our son, but wanted to know why we called him.

Micki handled it will and so did the guy on the line. He said he hoped our son was fine and said he was sorry he wasn’t Todd and hung up.

Since that first night I have tried to be more care full, but I have called my daughter-in-law and other and I didn’t even know I did.

I do have a plan for not doing that any more. I’ll only checking my E-mail with my Blackberry and when I actually know what I am doing I’ll use it to call people.

Happiness with wealth to you
