YOY this is so stupid! I clicked the thread STORYTIME! Thinking I share the best funniest story I have to tell you.
Ok I am going to anyways.
One night it was quiet and late, and I decided to do my telephone banking. So I get some overseas customer representative, he was probablly in India, and who was courteous and friendly. I made a request that he do something and while I was waiting for this request to finish, all was quiet. The house, all around me. And I was just sitting alone.
Suddenly he said : by the way MRS. _______ on behalf of the Bank of _____ we would like to wish you a very Happy Birthday.
I was totally overcome with a strange feeling. Like fear. Just shocked that in the middle of the night some guy overseas would knows today is my BIRTHDAY!!! I felt suddenly uneasy, so I sat up in my chair, still holding on to the ice cream cone I had treated myself to. And I asked :
Excuse me but how do you know its my birthday?
He : WEll MRS._______ at The Bank of __________we know everything.
Me: Oh really? (feeling even more weirded out) (I look around me, then my eyes fall suddenly on the ice cream in my hand). Well Then tell me what flavor ice cream am I eating right now?
He : Unfortuntalely MRS._______ our systems are not that far advanced yet.
ME & Him : Laugh.
Was that not hilarious?
