Pager Problems

"Pager Problems"

One of my friends works in the customer service call
center of a national pager company. He deals with
the usual complaints regarding poor pager operation,
as well as the occasional crank caller demanding to
be paged less often, more often, or by more interesting
people.

The best call came from a man who repeatedly
complained that he keeps being paged by "Lucille."
He was instructed that he would have to call her and
tell her to stop paging him.

"She don't never leave no number, so I can't call her back,"
he said.

After three such calls, someone thought to ask how he
knew it was Lucille if she didn't leave a number.

"She leaves her name," was the reply.

After establishing that the customer had a numeric-only
pager, the light bulb came on. "How does she spell her
name?" the service rep asked.

"L-O-W C-E-L-L"

"The New Deputy"

The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer -
who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket
went in to try out for the job.

"Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Gomer, what is 1 and 1?"

"11" he replied.

The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant,
but he's right."

"What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?"

"Today and tomorrow."

He was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct
answer that he had never thought of himself.

"Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"

Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really
hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know."

"Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a
while?"

So, Gomer wandered over to the pool hall where his pals
were waiting to hear the results of the interview.

Gomer was exultant. "It went great! First day on the job and
I'm already working on a murder case!"
