Thread Name: BS: Surreal Practical Jokes?
Subject: RE: BS: Surreal Practical Jokes?
I recently received an after dinner call from a salesperson representing my Internet server. They first thanked me for doing business with them (which normally tells you thay are going to try and sell you something). The salsesperson than asked how I found the high speed internet. I said it was fine. She replied that she was happy to tell me that for a mere $7.95 a month I was eligible to receive an even faster internet service and went on to explain it...with little opportunity for me to say anything.

After she finished with all that, she asked me if I was interested in subscribing. I said no. She asked why not. I said "Honestly, I just don't know what I would do with all the extra time I would save and have on my hands. I added, that I would likely just drink more beer, and that would be unhealthy" She burst out in laughter and said, I never had that type of response before. She thanked me, still laughing before she hung up.
