Country CD Put On To Impress Repair Guy

WILMETTE, IL—In an effort to impress repairman Jason Delmar, 29, whom he called to fix a malfunctioning dishwasher, local resident Brad Osterberg played Merle Haggard's 1968 album Mama Tried for the entire time Delmar was in his home, the 38-year-old intellectual property attorney told reporters Monday. 'He didn't say much, but I think we really connected,' said Osterberg, who later added that he always makes sure he has something by A Tribe Called Quest blaring when his usual pizza delivery guy comes. 'I just wanted him to feel comfortable. After all, I have a pretty nice place.' After leaving Osterberg's home, Delmar reportedly resumed listening to the audiobook of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow on his repair truck's CD player in order to 'get that hillbilly crap out of [his] head.'

"Wait, people work at Home Depot? I've always just gone there, picked out what I needed, then bought it at the self-serve register. Are you sure you have the company name right?"

Young Man

Travis Brooks,
Customer Service Representative
"As a Sprint customer service rep, I react to the news with a mixture of passive-aggression and moderate contempt just short of outright rudeness, sir."

Wait,I think that Sprint guy waited on my son and I once....

Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois left his house in Chicago on Thursday morning on his way to deliver the closing argument at his impeachment trial in ...
New York Times -

His prattling on can't be good for his case....It makes him look crazy and like he's trying to hard to prove his innocence...("The lady doth protest too much"....Or in this case "the gentleman?")This man needs to know when to shut the heck up! I was sitting in my office listening to him thinking, "You know what really would be funny right now? An intermission like the intermission from Monty Python's Holy Grail...Right in the stinking middle."
