You'd think that with the youngest Progeny reaching 16 (within a week) and 13, I'd be done with this series. You haven't met my children.
New Rule:
No. Just no. You may NOT answer the telephone with "Joe's Morgue. You stab 'em, we slab 'em!" I know it's hard to believe, but this does not create the sort of impression your father wishes to make with potential employers.
How about, you plug'em we plant'em ?

ReplyDeleteMy Dad used to answer the extension phone "Joe's pool room, Joe speaking!" That was back in the days when phones were hard wired to the wall and the phone company had to put them in. We had two phones, one in the house and one in Dad's office but they were both the same line. When you rang the extension phone, it sounded different. So Dad would play with us by answering this way.
ReplyDeleteYes I know I'm old...
LOL. My oldest son recently made vague threats in a menacing tone at a computer salescaller while 2nd son shot his air rifle in the background. They proudly told me that they got rid of the caller. I commented that they were fortunate to not hear from the police as a result. They are 17 and 16 and we have a new rule at our house, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember my dad answering the phone with both Joe's Morgue and Joe's pool hall! We kids thought it was hilarious, but I can see how a sub caller from a school would be slightly disturbed! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat was a joke that my hubby introduced me to when we were in post-secondary education together. I was not that impressed, but he and his buddies thought it was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHHA !! OH, that is funny.... but seriously not what you want a prospective employer to hear...
ReplyDeleteBut it IS funny...
