Email Of The Week Award

Tony,

Try Aleve; works wonders but nothing works as well as a fine cigar sitting out looking into space with no phone ringing nor dopey emails to answer. Ahhhhh. :thumbup:
 
Here's one for the record books:

"I bought a box of Sniper tips from you but am not sure how to install them. They have a black pad at the bottom and one in the middle. If I leave the pad in the middle the tip is pretty long. Please guide me on installing this tip. I have someone that wants one and I want to make sure I do it right".

And I thought you're supposed to know what you're doing before you purchase things. Boy, am I arse backwards.

I'd like to think that the sender of the email was looking at 2 tips stuck together and thought it was one single, ridiculously long tip.

and no, wasn't me buying tips
 
Joe should add one more to his list of calling rules.

If you are from the Northeast, slow the heck down, we can't understand people that talk at the speed of light. :)

Joe is from Brooklyn so he can probably understand most northern people. On the other hand I can understand most northern people, but alot of them can't understand me. I even start spelling words for them and they still can't understand me. Recently after one could not understand me even after spelling the word over and over for him, I told the guy that I was going to let him talk to my wife. She lived in northern Virginia and Maryland for a long time, so she translates for me. The one letter northern customers have a hard time with me on is the letter "I". Even when I say abcdefgh "I" they still don't get it. You should see the look on people's faces in Virginia when I ask them for some ICE. Then I ask them for frozen cubes of water to go in my water. And if that don't work then I say Julie please translate.

My father in law is from Kentucky and said the first time he was in Maine and asked for a bag of "ICE" the lady at the cash registers face got really red and she looked mad and said, "We don't sell that kind of thing here". LOL

I can relate. I once called a pool room customer in North Carolina and the lady that answered the phone told me the owner was out and asked what I needed. After talking for a minute or so she asked me if I was making fun of the way she talked. She told me she was sick of everyone making fun of the way she talks. She went on to say I sounded like a cartoon character Hank Hill. I told her I was a Georgia boy and this is how I talk. You know you must have a southern accent when someone from North Carolina thinks you are putting on an accent to make fun of how she talks.

I guess I don't realize It, but to northerners My accent must sound heavy as well, because I have been asked several times If I was sure that I wasn't a country music singer. I just tell them "Heck I wish, because I could really use the extra income" Problem is My singing would probably run every critter within a 1 mile radius to safer ground.

You should see some of the pics we get of cobbled together machinery with drills, etc. And then we get pics of their handicraft which may as well have been done with a hammer and chisel. Nothing surprises me anymore. Go have a cigar!

Now, that's some funny stuff there! I understand you perfectly. I guess I've been indoctrinated living in Florida for 30 years. Where did the time go! Actually, my girlfriend is from South Carolina so I'm learning a whole new language. Imagine learning English for the first time! As far as talking to northerners. They bother me too but then again who doesn't. :rolleyes:

How about talking to the people in the mid-west; they talk funny too. Texas is one of my favorite states; really. I find the nicest people come from there although most people we deal with are nice (politically correct). The funniest conversations are with those who live in foreign countries like California, Germany, etc. :D

My 'in box' is chock full of good ones this morning!

Recently I've had an idea of a hickory cue or using it in parts. I don't think I've ever seen it. Have you ever made one or is there a reason I've never seen it.
