OO1 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 In San Diego to work with military linguists, my colleague and I checked into a hotel and ordered a 5 a.m. wake-up call. The next morning, the phone didn’t ring until 5:30. “You were supposed to call us at 5 a.m.!” I admonished the desk clerk on the other end of the line. “What if I had to close a million-dollar contract this morning? Your oversight would have cost me the deal!” “Sir,” he said calmly, “if you had to close that type of deal, I doubt you’d be staying in this type of hotel.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 A local charity had never received a donation from the town's banker, so the director made a phone call. "Our records show you make $500,000 a year, yet you haven't given a penny to charity," the director began. "Wouldn't you like to help the community?" The banker replied, "Did your research show that my mother is ill, with extremely expensive medical bills?" "Um, no," mumbled the director. "Or that my brother is blind and unemployed? Or that my sister's husband died, leaving her broke with four kids?" "I … I … I had no idea." "So," said the banker, "if I don't give them any money, why would I give any to you?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 When I worked for the County once upon a time, an angry called was berating me about some policy that they felt wasn't right. I finally told him, "do you really think the guy answering the telephone has the power to change policy?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
