remembering


Once, back when catalog orders were still placed on the phone, I made a call to order a sweater.  It was a brown sweater, but as catalog makers are wont to do, they gave it a clever name.

Me: And I'd like one of style # 123456.

Guy on the other end: Which color?

Me:  'Bark'.

Guy: Woof!  Woof!

Me: .............???.....

Guy: Hahahahahha! Phew.  I've been waiting all day to do that.

That still makes me smile.  The idea of this normal sounding dude just chuckling to himself in his little call-center cubicle.

It's always wise to find a way to make your day more pleasant, isn't it?

LOL!!! Just last night I was looking at an LL Bean Catalog and trying to figure out which name went with which color.
