One time I was calling home to work to check up on things, but my calling card wouldn't go through the automatic procedure. After 3 tries (to eliminate typing mistakes) I called the operator. She told me I was trying to make an overseas call with a calling card, and they didn't allow that. I said I'm trying to call Canada. She said "you see". I said Canada isn't overseas. (in fact, in the phone system, it really isn't even a different country code. Canada and the US share one country code - "1". So if you call from europe you dial international prefix followed by 1 (for the country)). She said it was. At which point I lost my temper and said "I just drove here from Canada yesterday, and I didn't cross any seas!" and hung up and gave my money to another long distance carrier.
My girlfriend overheard this and nearly fell down the stairs she was laughing so hard. -- Michaelwagner _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
