Re: Friday Funnies - early



Old and new technologies - here's a reverse one:

In order to place a long-distance call from our institution we need
to enter an access code into the system, a basic procedure for
accounting purposes. When this was first implemented I  was told by
one of my long-time volunteers that it did not seem to work for her,
puzzling since everyone else had no problem with it.  Finally I asked
if I could see where she might go wrong. When she was prompted by the
nice voice in the automated phone system to "please enter your access
code now" she hissed into the phone "okay, young lady, for the tenth
time, please take this number down: One-Two-Eight-Seven-Five"....
