Sales rep was in an office when he answered a phonecall
" Darling, is it OK to use your credit card ... I've seen the most divine necklace, it's in four colours and I just have decide which for the season..."
He says 'How much ..."
"It's only $2000 ...'
He says 'So cheap, buy all four to match the seasons then'
" You're a honey ... and there's matching necklaces and ear rings ... may I? "
He says "Sure, go for it ... you gotta look the part!"
" I really do love you soooooo much ... may I ask one more thing, can I trade my car for the Porsche we spoke of ... I already spoke to a sales associate ?'
He replies " Hmmmm, now what's THAT going to cost I wonder ???"
"It's just a little over $42000 ... "
He 'Sure ... lets push the push boat out'
She gushes more thanks and rings off ...
Sales rep hold the phone high n the air and calls out " Hey has one of you guys lost a phone ..."
When Russia faced a similar tragedy and then the loss of their sailors at least they could rely upon Putin's honesty and integrity to be straight with them!
Kindest thoughts to you, your nation during this time of trial
Yadda yadda yadda .... blame the Invisible man in the Sky or the Invisible Beast under the ground for everything in your life and be a perpetual victim.
Accept that there is NO INVISIBLE MAN IN TH SKY and realise that ALL you are subject to is 'The Laws of Nature'
In fact, nowadays there are so many fruitcakes in the world that ... well, I'm thinking maybe we could do a lotta good ... perhaps we could end hunger in the world by feeding fruitcake to the hungry ?
Thank heavens you said something ... much better than going out and shooting people in a mall or whatever you Americans do these days to relieve stress !
There's a few psychotic women who never fail to amuse ... but I'll not name them because a) that might cause them to have a break, and b) It would be a real tragedy if I missed one ... and they took a break!
seems to be triggers though ...
There's a few of the guys would be craic over a beer though !
2 out of 22 isn't a too bad hit rate ... if you look at pretty much any form of 'cold canvassing' and 'direct marketting' the people involved generally consider 0.3% to be average and you're on about 0.9%
The thing to remember is that, like a letterbox leaflet drop, you're contacting a 'scattergun exercise' ... YOU might think it's 'targetted' but that's based upon what you read ... and what 'they write' is typically a bland stereotypical monologue!
But lemme ask (TIC)
Plumber, electrician, real estate agent, gardeners, fast food shops, tradies blah blah blah all drop leafelts in your mailbox ... do YOU ever bother to reply 'Thanks for your message, sorry not interested'
I got me a solar powered arab style head-dress ... it keeps out all the Big Brothery attempts at brainwashing / mind reading, keeps the cellphone fully topped up and, if there's surplus power at the end of a sunny day it plugs into an inverter and runs the microwave and / or washing machine !
Trump pulled from the TPPA for one reason only ... he wants to be the final arbiter of the agreement and the current version (if you were to read it) allows for US entry on their terms at a later date ... he has the other nations where he wants them ... on their knees and begging to be allowed to suck the US's d**k when he feels the time is right!
That is in fact 'The Art of The Deal'
Those who are working for the US (and are probably still swamp dwellers) should actually have NO PART and no influence upon the negotiations ... but it appears that they do ... just as in warfare they use proxies to fight battles and 'look like' their hands are clean!
Look around the world ... Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Tony Blair, John Key, Trudeau were all 'inserted' - Blair and Key already betrayed their nations Trudeau will betray Canada and Macron will betray the French.
For a usually worthy and intelligent poster ... that was so seriously out of character as to make me wonder has your profile been hijacked or perhaps you recently took a serious blow to the head ???
RE: MISSING SUBMARINE
More than that ... I hope it's a happier ending this time !Fingers crossed ...
