Two More for the "Huh?" Files

[Dips]

SC voice mails from my husband's job this week.


SC #1 started speaking before the beep so the first part was lost. She also sounded like she was trying to talk while puckering up to make a cut bum face.

"...another case of false advertising! Jesus KWIST!"

SC #2 left a long shouty rant because he got a catalog with his order. Some of the better highlights.

"You guys sent me a catalog! I've given up coin collecting because every time I do, people keep sending me catalogs!"

"You know how many trees you're killing and how many animals you're displacing because they don't have a home any more?"

"I swear to God if you guys send me another catalog I'll put a knife to my throat!"

The kicker? His order was over $50 and the order form had text that catalogs were free (they normally cost $3.95) if you had an order over $50 and you checked the box to request a catalog.

So all he had to do to avoid murdering Bambi was, you know, NOT check the box.

... NOT check the box.

A clear case of "Fill out the cranks."

So, when's the next catalog going out?

Dear Sir, from your message we understand you are upset about our catalog. We apologize for the inconvenience and are shipping you a case of 100 catalogs to make up for it.

Promises, promises.

He wouldn't happen to be related to Karla, would he?

Elmer Fudd?

My mom

My mom use to complain about the Sears catalog all the time. We got at-least 6-8 every year.

And I kept pointing out that that every time she got one she would order stuff from the new catalog. I am sure that a database somewhere linked the two events.

I would keep telling her "Don't buy stuff, and they will stop sending you them.".

And guess what! I just realize it is just over a year since my mom died and I have not seen a Sears catalog since last Fall. I am pretty sure that I never saw even the Christmas one which I always read to see what neat toys kids get to play with now.

Don't buy, and you will not receive.

Sounds like someone needs to be sent a catalogue of high-end kitchen knives marketed to professional chefs.
