#8275 Wings Over The Mountains of Life



Radio Shack
========

Do those guys at Radio Shack ever get on your nerves, asking
you for a bunch of personal data when you're just there to buy
something as simple as a couple AA batteries? I think we should
inconvenience these people as much as they do us. A while ago I
was in Radio Shack buying a printer cable adapter and the guy
asked me for my name.

"Ghosseindhatsghabyfaird-Johnson," I replied.

(blank look of confusion)

"How do you spell that?" he asked, obviously not wanting to
know.

"With a hyphen," I clarified.

"Once more?" he asked.

"Ghosseindhatsghabyfaird-Johnson"

"Could you please spell that?" he asked, glancing at the half
dozen people waiting behind me.

"Oh ... just like it sounds," I said nonchalantly.

Putting down "Johnson," he went on and asked about the address.

"Washburn, Wisconsin, 14701 N.E. Wachatanoobee Parkway, Complex
3, Building O, Appt. 1382b," I replied.

Almost through writing all this down, I said, "Or did you mean
current address?"

Stopping, he said, (becoming irritated) "Yes. Current address."

"Diluthian Heights, Mississippi, 1372 S. Tinatonabee Avenue,
Building 14C, Suite 2, Box 138201," I replied quite slowly.

Waiting until he finished I said, "No, wait, it's NORTH
Tinatonabee Avenue." Annoyed, he backed up and changed it.

"I think," I interjected.

"And is all this correct?" he asked in a standard manner.

"Of course not," I replied, leaving, "If you want my REAL name
and address, look at the credit card receipt."

A little mean, I must admit, but no jury would convict me ...
at least, none that had been to Radio Shack.



from The Mountain:
This is of course a joke. We don't recommend or condone such
behavior at Radio Shack or at 14701 N.E. Wachatanoobee Parkway.
