Before we got rid of our landline, it never failed that the calls would come right about the time we sat down to eat supper. One night we got a call from "Duct Masters" trying to sell us a cleaning package. I said "Hello" and the girl says "This is so-n-so from Duct Masters, and we would like to talk to you about cleaning your ducts." I said "Honey, I don't have any
ducks. I have 12 chickens, 9 guineas, 3 geese, and a black swan that is meaner'n hell" She says "Oh no sir, you may have misunderstood, as we are offering to clean your ducts." I said, " I just told you, I don't have any
ducks, but I have 12 chickens, 9 guineas, 3 geese and that mean assed black swan."
We went thru that about 4 times before she gave up! My wife was rolling on the floor laughing, and I couldn't stand it so I hit redial, and she actually answered! I said "Since you don't want to clean my
ducks, could you at least come and see if you can help the black swan? Last time I tried to give him a bath, I lost a finger!" She was quiet for a few seconds, and
CLICK!
