Being the sentimentalist that I am, I was looking through some old FAOL threads I started. I was younger and smarter then. This one got a few laughs so I decided to share it again with y’all.
Subject: Tenjewberrymuds
To get the full effect, this should be read aloud. You will
understand what ‘tenjewberrymuds’ means by the end of the
conversation. This had been nominated for the best email of 2005.
The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and
room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published
in the Far East Economic Review:
Room Service (RS): “Morrin. Roon sirbees.”

Marco;
You may be pleased to know the he has now come up in the world and is working for my internet provider.
He has brought the whole family over! I talked with his sister on Monday and his twin brother on Wednesday!!
He did resolve my problem so he is getting better!
Jack!
You are mistaken my friend. He works in the problem resolution department in the Medicare Insurance information section of our federal bureaucracy. Also his sister, his aunt, and his fourth cousin as well. Unlike you, it cost me over $4K on a claim they rejected because I got bad information. (You’ll please note the lack of a smiling, winking icon on this post) That guy has relatives everywhere!
Jack,
I used to have Norton Anti-Virus program on my computer. I was supposed to be signed up for 12 months, but that wasn’t good enough for Norton! I kept getting a Popup saying that I needed to re-register! I went to find my registration Code and sure enough there were about 15 Letters. I made the fatal mistake of calling Customer Service and wouldn’t ya know I got INDIA! I got the same Indian Guy 4 times over a space of a few months and surprise! surprise! He didn’t really know any English. I had to repeat all the Letters like this, "A for Apple, B for Boy, C for Cat. Hey Norton! You call that Customer Service!!!
I was the Customer and your Service STINKS! :mad:
I feel better now.
