    Lost in tv translation

    Another thrilling day at Flowers That Suck and another crop of aspiring idiots. This one courtesy of some blow-hard windbag pontificater on Fox News channel.

    BDI = Brain Dead Idiot Lady
    Me = Yours Truly

    Me - spewing out my opening spiel like I actually mean it
    BDI - Uh, yeah, I wanna order that hundred flowers for twenty bucks special you guys have.
    Me - Ma'am I'm sorry but I think you have us confused with another florist. Our prices start at forty dollars.
    BDI - No, I seen it last night on the teevee.
    Me - We don't advertise on television, ma'am. That is another company
    BDI - (getting agitated now) yes, you do. *Insert name of blow hard shrill commentator here" recommended your company on his show last night and talked about your twenty dollar special.
    Me - Ma'am again, that is not us. I can give you a price on a hundred different stems of various flowers but we cannot honor that price given on a tv ad.
    BDI - (raging mad now) You gonna gimme that price or I'm gonna call up *insert name of blow hard shrill commentator* and complain he's been hoodwinked by youse guys.
    Me - (muting receiver for a sec so I can sigh deeply) And again madam, that is not Flowers That Suck. It is another company who sends their flowers out in a box, not fresh, seconds, with no vase, not professionally arranged by UPS.
    BDI - No!!! *insert name of blow hard shrill commentator* would never lie! You're pulling a bait and switch
    Me - (more big sighs) Ma'am, do you even know the name of the company you're trying to reach
    BDI - ProFlorals
    Me - Ma'am, We're Flowers That Suck not ProFlorals
    BDI - (very huffy now) Well I know that! I cannot find ProFlorals number.

    and so on, lather, rinse, repeat....

            Not all businesses are listed in the yellow pages. My favorite chinese restaurant isn't. But it will definitely be in the white pages.

                        I actually just heard "blow hard shrill commentator" on the radio talking about that special. Apparently, if you go to his special website and spend only another $20, you can get another 100 flowers.

                            It's 100 flowers for $20 they're probably ragweed.
