The Junk Drawer

I like grits with butter and salt.
My friend from the south makes em with ham and cheese too. yummy.

However, I'm gonna ask a stupid question... what's okra?
 
Okra.. it's fuzzy on the outside and slimy with round seeds inside.. found in gumbo, or fried or in some other way shape or form recipe that southerners find to hide it~!!

some people like it .. I, myself can't tolerate the texture ~!

Okra is best deep fried, in a soup or gumbo is second best.

EGADS WOMAN! Are you trying to kill me? Grits resemble that vile paste you call oatmeal in no fashion other than color and you eat both of them hot. Grits are a meal corn cereal. They are also commonly known as quick grits.

Seig, I'm starting to think that grits must be a southern "zen" thing.

I was at home the other night, in the middle of my dinner, when the phone rang.

ME: Hello.

AT&T: Hello, this is AT&T ...

ME: Is this AT&T?

AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T ....

ME: This is AT&T?

AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T ....

ME: Is this AT&T?

AT&T: Yes! This is AT&T, may I speak to Mr.Byron, please?

ME: May I ask who is calling?

AT&T: This is AT&T.

ME: "OK, hold on." At this point I put the phone down for a solid 5 minutes thinking that, surely, this person would have hung up the phone. I ate my salad.

Much to my surprise, when I picked up the receiver, they were still waiting.

ME: Hello?

AT&T: Is this Mr. Byron?

ME: May I ask who is calling, please? [...."calling" ! The phone rang five minutes ago!! ]

AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T ...

ME: This is AT&T?

AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T ...

ME: The phone company?

AT&T: Yes, sir.

ME: I thought you said this was AT&T.

AT&T: Yes, sir, we are a phone company.

ME: I already have a phone.

AT&T: We aren't selling phones today, Mr. Byron. We would like to offer you 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

ME: Now, that's 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day?

AT&T: (getting a little excited at this point by my interest) Yes, sir, that's right! 24 hours a day!

ME: 7 days a week?

AT&T: That's right.

ME: 365 days a year?

AT&T: Yes, sir.

ME: I am definitely interested in that! Wow!!! That's amazing!

AT&T: We think so!

ME: That's quite a sum of money!

AT&T: Yes, sir, it's amazing how it adds up.

ME: OK, so will you send me checks weekly, monthly or just one big check at the end of the year for the full $52,560; and if you send an annual check, can I get a cash advance?

AT&T: Excuse me?

ME: You know, the 10 cents a minute.

AT&T: What are you talking about?

ME: You said you'd give me 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That comes to $144 per day, $1008 per week and $52,560 per year. I'm just interested in knowing how you will be making payment.

AT&T: Oh, no, sir. I didn't mean we'd be paying you. You pay us 10 cents a minute.

ME: Wait a minute, how do you figure that by saying that you'll give me 10 cents a minute, that I'LL give YOU 10 cents a minute? Is this some kind of subliminal telemarketing scheme? I've read about things like this in the Enquirer, you know.

AT&T: No, sir, we are offering 10 cents a minute for ..

ME: THERE YOU GO AGAIN! Can I speak to a supervisor please?

AT&T: Sir, I don't think that is necessary.

ME: I insist on speaking to a supervisor!

AT&T: Yes, Mr. Byron. Please hold.

At this point, I begin trying to finish my dinner.

SUPERVISOR: Mr. Byron?

ME: Yeah?

SUPERVISOR: I understand you are not quite understanding our 10 cents a minute program.

ME: Is This A T & T?

SUPERVISOR: Yes, sir, it sure is.

ME: (I had to swallow before I choked on my food. It was all I could do to suppress my laughter, and I had to be careful not to produce a snort.) "No, actually, I was just waiting for someone to get back to me so that I could sign up for the plan.

SUPERVISOR: OK, no problem, I'll transfer you back to the person who was helping you.

ME: Thank you.

I was on hold once again and managed a few more mouthfuls. I needed to end this conversation. Suddenly, there was an aggravated but polite voice at the other end of the phone.

AT&T: Hello, Mr. Byron, I understand that you are interested in signing up for our plan?

ME: No, but I was wondering - do you have that "Friends and Family" thing, because I'm an only child and I'd really like to have a little brother...

AT&T: click.
 
If you really did that....It was hilarious! I am very impressed that you could restrain from laughter that whole time! :D:D:D

It is also important to get the real thing, not that instant 'just add hot water' crap.
