He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts. ~William Shakespeare, Henry V

AAA NOW SERVICES YOU WHILE YOU WAIT

Mike called today and told us this really funny story. Apparently gas prices rose to $2.80-something in Rolla and my brother, a reporter for The Turtle Mountain Star, called AAA in Fargo to get info on the rising gas prices and how AAA and travel businesses and travelers will be affected. This gal he was talking to did know so she gave Mike a 800 number to call and he would get all his questions answered from that number. So he called the 800 number and it turned out to be a sex line. Mike called AAA in Fargo back and asked for a supervisor, the supervisor said that this gal has been working for them for 3 yrs so she obviously knew what she was doing when she gave Mike that number. Now you know that if it was WDAZ or any television news company they would have broadcasted that on TV so Mike's next article in The Turtle Mountain Star is titled "AAA goes XXX" and there will probably be a subcaption along the lines of "AAA offers customers new services while you wait". I can't wait to read it, it's going to be hilarious. I think the Star should send a copy off to Fargo.

    hahahaha... kind of like the Comfort Inn number used to be 1-888-c-o-m-f-y4u but if you accedentally dialed 800 instead you got a sex line.. found that out the hard way when someone called back to let me know I was giving out the wrong number.

    Oh boy April, that must have been pretty embarassing. How many people did you give it out to until one customer finally called you back?
