My Iron pills are taking hold. I ate at Z's Italian last night. The Manicotti was excelent. It made a nice turd. The turd actually scared me. It was about 16 inches long and very thick. And, get this, it was black-green! It looked like a Black Momba snake. It smelled like dirt. It cleaned up pretty well. It did not flush. After 3 tries, I gave up and left it there. My cow-orkers gathered around and gawked at it for several minutes. A janitor had to come and extract it from the toilet and carry it out of the building. I almost cried with joy. I rate this turd as a 9.
Phone Firm Adds Insult to Bill, Apologizes (Score:1)
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand's largest phone company Telecom Corp. of NZ on Wednesday apologized and offered compensation to a customer after charging him a "penalty for being an arrogant bastard".
Telecom has ordered an investigation into how Auckland businessman James Storrie received the $140 charge shown on his monthly mobile phone bill.
"How can they speak to their clients like this? It's downright rude," Storrie told the New Zealand Herald newspaper, which carried his photograph holding the objectionable bill.
Telecom spokesman Martin Freeth said the company was appalled and embarrassed by the rude statement and had made an offer of compensation.
"We've apologized and taking steps to stop anything like this...it's an aberration," Freeth told Reuters.
