    There are to many times when people want more than they know. They are bought and sold.

    You caught well here the other choice. Use humor to display the insanity of the free lunch that doesn't exisit.

    Love, Tom B.

    Oh my! I laughed! This is incredibly funny! I love telephone humor and you are definitely good at it. I couldn't find anything wrong with it, except being too funny to be true. I so wanna visit Louisiana sometime. Seems like the people there are super cool!

    Wish you luck in the contest!

    Your father sounds just like me, I had a person call trying to sell me telephone service once and when I reutilized who it was I suddenly yelled, very loud! "Damn it who left the gate open the giraffes’ got out and the hippos are following!" The gal on the other end of the phone laughed nervously and said; "You have Giraffes’ and hippos"? I said oh yeah, I got two of each as I'm a building this here big ark for the flood. She said, "Are you serious"? I replied; "Damn straight girl, I ain't gonna be drowning like all you other Homeys!" and she was quiet for a moment then nervously asked; "When this here flood supposed to start?” I said; "That’s privileged information honey, but you keep watching the horizon, okay?" She replied; "How deep will it get?" I replied" over your knickers honey, way over them, and I'd love to talk but the darn lions got out too and I gotta go round em up, bye>" true story. happened about 5-6 summers back, perhaps more, I'm not real sure of the date.

    Ah... a masterwork in humor! I love it!

    You have made my day with this TRUE STORY??? Jeez, this is fun to read. Thank you ever so much for sharing this because it is totally off the charts for funny. This should be on TV, like on Saturday Night Live.
