That’s pretty damned funny! (thought I'd reply before the "Off-Topic Nazis" get here)

I was talking to their ISP today, about when the ADSL line would be operative. "Oh about 7-10 days.." the guy said. I said, "Thats a bit long, but if that's how long it takes I'll have to live with it. How will I know when the line is active?" I asked. (I do know already that one way to tell is when the modem starts to wink at us. That's how I'll know, but I was kind of hoping I'd get him to agree to calling us or something.) He said "we'll send you an email to let you know it's working." I swear he said that totally deadpan, not kidding, he was serious about it. I laughed and said "you what??" He said "we'll send you an email when it's active to you can set up your modem on the line then." He was perplexed when I started laughing out loud. I said " do you know what you just said? Does that seem at all strange to you?" "No. Why?" I said "Are you related to the Telstra [phone company] person who told me once that if I had a problem with my phone just give him a call." He sounded puzzled and with what must have been a straight face and totally missing my point, said 'No sir, I have no relatives at Telstra at all." I swear that's how it went. He's a half-wit and doesn't even know when he's being funny. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
