Indian TV
Well, folks, the golf tournament began today and here's the crew preparing with a heartly breakfast.
It's a beautiful day for golf, and Lyle and I have a very nice group we are playing with. Except we commit the cardinal sin of partner's golf, namely have a bad hole at the same time. And, just for fun, we did it twice! So, we are out of the running and bought a six-pack of "swing oil" at the turn and played great to finish next to last for the day. Now, the first objective is to finish first and the second is to not finish last. So, we are in the thick of things on the second part.
Anyhow, we made it back to the house and make a huge quantity of margaritas to soothe the soul. It's working great when the phone rings. It's some Indian guy selling Dish Network. Says I get a free DVD if I will subscribe now. I ask what a DVD might be and he says it's a device I can use to record TV programs for playback later. That's when I chose to tell him that I didn't have a television. Silence. "Perhaps someone in your family does?" No, I assure him, we do not believe in television. Silence. "But, it's only $29.95 a month!" I assure him that if I don't have a television, then $29.95 and a free DVD is not a good deal. "You have no TV?" Correct. "Thank your very much for your time." Click
Next time I'm going to tell him that I'm glad he called because I had a gun in my mouth and was about to pull the trigger.
