I used to have Big Fun w/telemarketers. NONE of 'em EVER pronounced my last name-Geiger-right. It was Gayger, Googer, Geeger, Jeejer, or else the dimwit would just sit there & mumble. If they were female, sometimes, depending on how sulphurous a mood I was in, I would start telling 'em I was Ron Jeremy's BIGGER little brother...If they were male, I'd tell 'em the same thing, only talk w/a lisp 'n' act REAL "sweet". Yeah, I know they were just workin' schlubs, but still....Ain't I a Stinkah ?!? (grin) By the bye, my last name is pronounced "Guy-gurr", just like the Geiger counter. Spelling it tripped most of 'em's triggers, too..I'd go "George-Echo-India-George-Echo-Romeo", & they'd STILL phuck it up...Then all bets were off, out would come Ron's little bro, or Cherchez LaFemme....

I never was that quick.

With the wimmen who pissed me off, I'd call 'em honey, tell 'em I liked 'em, then ask 'em to guess what I had in my hand.

The men, I'd just tell 'em that if I could get aholt of 'em, I'd blow their GD brains out. And don't call back, MF!!!

That would put most Americans at a real disadvantage.

If I was intolerant of Spanish speaking people I would have a real problem as my wife's father was Spanish and her mother Italian, and there was a French grandmother in there somewhere.

That said when I was in Madrid on business only my hosts and some hotel staff spoke English, I had to make do as best I could on the street. The same was true of Paris and Munich and Berlin. Staff in the Tivoli Gardens restaurants spoke English. I got along fine in London and Brigton

The ones I have real fun with are the folks that come around to the door saying they are doing a survey and could they have a few moments of my time.

That's when I ask if the brought their checkbook because as a consultant I normally was paid $100 per hour.

They would look at me in shock and say that they did not pay, to which I would respond that I presumed they were going to sell the results of the survey and I wanted a piece of the action.

Got rid of them real fast.
