Journal krow's Journal: Bad day, I was bored, I think I got all of it 4

Me : Brian, go.
AT&T : Hello, this AT&T calling for Mr. or Ms. Aker.
Me : You have them.
AT&T : We called to thank you for being a digital cable subscriber and...
Me : I am ditching it next week.
AT&T : I am sorry, you are?
Me : Ripping the box, and mailing it back to you in small pieces.
AT&T : I do believe we have a policy against that.
Me : Fine, I will feed it to squirrels
AT&T : Well tonight I am calling you to inform you that we now have broadband access your neighborhood.
Me : You mean like a bigger cable?
AT&T : Yes, well, sort of. This will allow you to have broadband access from your home.
Me : Broad band? Like the elastic on my under-ware?
AT&T : No, this is Internet access, and for only $19.95 for the first six months we can provide you all the Internet has to offer.
Me : Isn't that rather large?
AT&T : No, you access this through your computer.
Me : You said it was a larger cable.
AT&T : No, this will come through the existing cable in your home.
Me : Then I already have it?
AT&T : No, we have to provide you with a cable modem.
Me : And I hook this up to the cable?
AT&T : Yes, we will have someone come out and install it.
Me : I have a Commodore 64.
AT&T : You run windows on that right?
Me : Sure. You can hear me typing right now.
AT&T : Then you are fine.
Me : By the way, Microsoft is loosing their hold on that trademark so you should not assume that windows means Microsoft Windows.
AT&T : I am sorry, what did you say?
Me : Don't worry about it.
Me : If I already have a modem, a computer, and a cable from you, why do I need yours?
AT&T : This is a special cable modem.
Me : Mine uses a cable.
AT&T : This is a cable modem and is not like the one you have.
Me : I have a modem, you didn't ask me what kind it is, so how do you know I don't have the right modem?
AT&T : This is a special modem.
Me : Oh, that kind of special modem. Is this the modem that I can use to find nudes of Britney Spears on the net?
AT&T : {pauses}
AT&T : It is up to you what you find on the Internet.
Me : Can I have your phone number, I think you would be cool to date.
AT&T : {click}
