I do not mind them using India or any other foriegn country.

My dealings with MS phone service have always been good.


What I do care about is their ability to speak clearly and understandabily. A thick accent that is hard to understand makes getting help harder than it should be. And if I call about say - Windows - they need to know how to use it as well as read the screen.


It does suck, because I know a few people that can do tech support(disabled) for min wage and would put in alot of hours just to talk to people daily.

i she fall out.. i mean she fall into that german category !! uhm dam if she ever need help i would volunteer in a heart beat !!


Footnote:
Now, some of the younger ones among us may think what a bunch of crap but I think there is a lot to be said about this. Also, American kids were drug to watch The Lawrence Welk Show on a Saturday night with Grandma and Grandpa or for those on the other side of the pond it was the English equivalent. The Black and White Minstrel Show. What a great time!

The other day, I needed to go to the emergency room.

Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my old Army fatigues and stuck a patch onto the front of my shirt that I had downloaded off the Internet.

When I went into the ER I noticed that 3/4 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren't that sick after all It cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time.

Here's the patch. Feel free to use it the next time you're in need of quicker emergency service.










It also works at DMV, Food Stamps Office and the Laundromat.

Yup, I had the same "drug" problem when I was growing up, too. I think that discipline is seriously lacking in kids these days. But, it is what it is. Chris.

that so true Chris and it is sad ya know the things that go on today didnt happen back in the day when i was a kid. kind of like when kids were seen and not herd!! now there something that got lost along the way i think.

now days kids can do waht ever they think they can and get away with it to. like talking back to there elder and such which would have never happen when i was growing up thats for sure.

If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman's credibility...


Q: 'Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?'

A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.'

Q: 'Officer -- who provided this description?'

A: 'The officer who responded to the scene.'

Q: 'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?'

A: 'Yes, sir. With my life.'

Q: 'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?'

A: 'Yes sir, we do!'

Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room?'

A: 'Yes sir, I do.'

Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker?'

A: 'Yes sir.'

Q: 'Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?'

A: 'You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.'

The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's 'Best Comeback' line -- and we think he'll win.

Now THAT is one smart cop! Chris.

Hope ya don't mind Scavenger

Lifesavers.... The Candy With The Little Hole -



The children began to identify the flavors by their color:

Red.....................Cherry
Yellow................Lemon
Green...................Lime
Orange ...............Orange

Finally the teacher gave them all HONEY lifesavers. None of the children could identify the taste.

The teacher said, 'I will give you all a clue. It's what your mother may sometimes call your father.'

One little girl looked up in horror, spit her lifesaver out and yelled, 'Oh my God! They're ass-holes!

The teacher had to leave the room!
