True story: a couple of years ago, my current station was sold by GE (grumblegrumble) and bought by a media company headquartered in Richmond, VA. Shortly afterward, one of the anchors called the new home office to inquire about the new health plan (it sucks btw). He told the woman at the other end of the phone his name. Then repeated his last name. Then repeated it three more times. Then, at her request, he spelled it.
Her: Now, what kind of name is that? Him: Uh. It's Italian. Her: Really? Well, I don't think we've ever had an Italian working here. That's grand! Him: Lady, you people do know the station you just bought is located in Providence, don't you? -----Original Message----- >From: Dennis Brumm <[email protected]> >Sent: Oct 20, 2010 9:54 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: coffin with a Penthouse view > >At 06:53 PM 10/20/2010, you wrote: >>Penthouse magazine founder Bob Guccione dead at 79 >> >>http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/7256535.html > >In Texas they have to spell out how those EYE-tal-yuhns talk, I guess. > >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"World News Now Discussion List" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected]. >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/wnndl?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
