Phone sex!
I'm doing some work in our master bath and needed some Platinum colored caulking. The local stores do not carry any specialty colors, so a week ago, while in the city, I stopped at a carpet/tile store and even they had to order it. The lady said she could have it in two/three days.
Last Friday I get this message on my machine:
"Yes Mr. (X), this is Sheryl at (ABC) Tile and Carpet. We now have your caulk. You may pick it up at your convenience. Thank you."
On Tuesday I get this message:
"Yes, Mr. (X), this is Sheryl at (ABC) Tile and Carpet. I think I left you a previous message but I just wanted to confirm that I have your caulk in now. Thank you."
What my wife and I laughed about for four days is the woman's accent and lack of clear enunciation. The recorded word 'caulk' sounds exactly like something else.
My wife went to the city alone yesterday, but alas she could not confront Sheryl. She said two men were at the counter when she told one, with the same lack of clear enunciation as Sheryl,: "I understand you have my husband's caulk.." (extended pause, blank looks) "...that he ordered?"
Oh sweet Sheryl - I listen to your voice mail and I imagine the possibilities...
