Momentary mumble.

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

You might be suprised what kind of blame I occassionally get here...

The funny thing was, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the mouth breather...  He had to put up with that more than I would have even tried to...

She asks her boyfriend, "Lucas." "I'm sorry, I should say what color..." She asks again, "Red"... "Okay," I replied, "that is the cause for the whine there. You need to use the green P/S fluid we sell here- "Listen, will you just tell me the fucking price of the goddamned P/S pump?! Every time I call you fucking people, you tell me I put the wrong fucking color this or that in it. Just tell me the price of the fuking pump!" Now I am suprised I did not hang up on her, or scream back. Instead I said, "Ma'am, you do realize that I am on the learning curve with this, don't you? And you also realize that I am trying to help you?" "Just tell me the price of---" "Alright, hold on..." Boyfriend comes on the phone, sounds like a real mouth-breather, "Yeah, how much is the pump?" He mutters in
