was at home the other night in the middle of my dinner when the phone rang.
>
>ME: Hello.

>ME: Is this AT&T.?
>
>AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T ....

>
>ME: Is this AT&T.?
>
>AT&T: Yes! This is AT&T, may I speak to Mr.Byron, please.?
>
>ME: May I ask who is calling.?
>
>AT&T: This is AT&T.
>
>ME: Ok, hold on.
>
>At this point I put the phone down for a solid 5 minutes thinking that,
>surely, this person would have hung up the phone. I ate my salad. Much to my
>surprise, when I picked up the receiver, they were still waiting.
>
>ME: Hello.?
>
>AT&T: Is this Mr. Byron.?
>
>ME: May I ask who is calling, please.?
>
>AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T ...

>
>AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T ...
>
>ME: The phone company.?
>
>AT&T: Yes, sir.
>
>ME: I thought you said this was AT&T.
>
>AT&T: Yes, sir, we are a phone company.
>
>ME: I already have a phone.
>
>AT&T: We aren't selling phones today, Mr. Byron. We would like to offer you 10
>cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
>
>ME: Now, that's 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day?
>
>AT&T: (getting a little excited at this point by my interest) Yes, sir,
>that's right!
>24 hours a day!
>
>ME: 7 days a week.?
>
>AT&T: That's right.
>
>ME: 365 days a year.?
>
>AT&T: Yes, sir.
>
>ME: I am definitely interested in that! Wow!!! That's amazing!
>
>AT&T: We think so!
>
>ME: That's quite a sum of money!
>
>AT&T: Yes, sir, it's amazing how it adds up.
>
>ME: Ok, so will you send me checks weekly, monthly or just one big one at the
>end of the year for the full $52,560; and if you send an annual check, can I
>get a cash advance.?
>
>AT&T: Excuse me.?
>
>ME: You know, the 10 cents a minute.
>
>AT&T: What are you talking about.?
>
>ME: You said you'd give me 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
>365 days a year. That comes to $144 per day, $1008 per week and $52,560 per
>year. I'm just interested in knowing how you will be making payment.
>
>AT&T: Oh, no, sir. I didn't mean we'd be paying you. You pay us 10 cents a
>minute.
>
>ME: Wait a minute, how do you figure that by saying that you'll give me 10
>cents a minute, that I'll give YOU 10 cents a minute? Is this some kind of
>subliminal telemarketing scheme.? I've read about things like this in the Enquirer,
>you know.
>
>AT&T: No, sir, we are offering 10 cents a minute for ..
>
>ME: THERE YOU GO AGAIN! Can I speak to a supervisor please.?
>
>AT&T: Sir, I don't think that is necessary.
>
>ME: I insist on speaking to a supervisor.!
>
>AT&T: Yes, Mr. Byron. Please hold.
>
>At this point, I begin trying to finish my dinner.
>
>SUPERVISOR: Mr. Byron.?
>
>ME: Yeth.?
>
>SUPERVISOR: I understand you are not quite understanding our 10 cents a
>minute program.
>
>ME: Is This A T &T.?
>
>SUPERVISOR: Yes, sir, it sure is.
>
>ME: (I had to swallow before I choked on my food. It was all I could do to
>suppress my laughter and I had to be careful not to produce a snort.) No,
>actually, I was just waiting for someone to get back to me so that I could sign up
>for the plan.
>
>SUPERVISOR: Ok, no problem, I'll transfer you back to the person who was
>helping you.
>
>ME: Thank you.
>
>I was on hold once again and managed a few more mouthfuls. I need to end this
>conversation. Suddenly, there was an aggravated but polite voice at the other
>end of the phone.
>
>AT&T: Hello, Mr. Byron, I understand that you are interested in signing up
>for our plan.?
>
>ME: No, but I was wondering - do you have that "Friends and Family" thing
>because I'm an only child and I'd really like to have a little brother...
