  • L, Brother B, and "Sue-Ellen"

    Okay...this was a while back, when I was working at the last job before my present one. This involved two friends who did technical support for the computers that my company sold.

    L-tech support guy #1

    Brother B-tech support guy #2

    "Sue-Ellen"-the customer. Not an SC per se...more like eccentric...not the customer's actual name, but since the actual name brought to mind 80s primetime soaps, I stole from "Dallas." Heh heh heh...

    Anyhoo, Sue Ellen had bought a computer from us and had technical issues. L was working on the problem. The situation required a callback. L wasn't able to get to it right away, so he asked Brother B to follow up on the matter.

    Brother B calls Sue Ellen. Gets the voicemail. And hears the following message.

    "Hi, you've reached Sue-Ellen. If you've got the credit card, I've got the time." In a very sultry, seductive voice.

    Now, let me advise that Brother B was-and is-a reborn Christian. Not said to bash or knock. In fact, he and L are two of my best friends. Brother B is very straightlaced, very conservative. Needless to say, he was rather surprised, and thought he had misdialed.

    He got the recording again.

    Now, at this point, Brother B is thinking two things:

    1.)L gave him a wrong number by accident.

    2.)L gave him a wrong number on purpose to prank him. In which case, he's going to let L know that jokes like that are not, to his mind, funny.

    Brother B get a hold of L, who assures him that this was a legitimate customer. So Brother B calls Sue Ellen, and leaves a message.

    Sue Ellen calls back, and it's then that we learn that she just had a strange sense of humor. She was very apologetic for freaking Brother B out when he expalined why he sounded apprehensive on his voicemail.
