Mrs Longenecker (who does not suffer fools gladly) had a phone call today from a man with an Indian accent who called himself Stephen. Stephen asked to speak with ‘the lady of the house’ and when told it was she, asked, “What cable provider do you use for your TV?”
Mrs. L: “We don’t have TV.”
Stephen: “That’s fine. What cable company do you use for your TV?”
Mrs. L: “We don’t have TV.”
Stephen. “You don’t have TV?”
Mrs. L.: “Yes, that’s right. We don’t have TV.”
Stephen: “What do you do all evening?”
Mrs. L. “That’s none of your business.”
Stephen: Click.
I’m scared of Mrs. L, as I’m sure you must be too, some days.
HAHAHA! I love it! We have no TV either… It is remarkable how the absence of that box does wonders for the mind and heart.Bravo! And where do some folks learn their manners?-g-
You know, this would really be a legitimate question for some people. Many I know would have simply no idea what to do all evening if their TVs suddenly went out.
OH, I LOVE THIS WOMAN you married!!She’s a definite keeper, Father… treat her like a treasure or, well, let’s just say it could all turn on a pin!
Too funny! That must be rare–isn’t it usually the telemarketer who gets hung up on?We don’t have television, either, and it does seem that many (if not most) really don’t realize that you don’t *need* one and that there are other things to do (like read blogs;)).
Viva Mrs. L !
Perfect!!
We are dumping network/cable tv this week and going to a subscriber/mailed movie service…never have to ask again, what’s on tv? No more offensive commercials, etc. My husband, an avid sports fan, actually suggested it. Can’t wait to see how it changes our lives.
Oh, how I wish I could convince my wife to do without the Glass Teat. I’ve always preferred to do without.
