Back to work

           I grew up in a household with a very attractive mother and three very pretty sisters. We always seemed to have peeping Toms and obscene phone calls. My dad, brother and me weren't always around to handle things. We kept an unloaded shot gun in the closet by the front door and we hung a whistle by the phone. A couple of times my mother had been seen running out the front door with the shot gun chasing that peeping Tom and when the obscene callers would call, they'd get an ear of a loud whistle. Eventually the peeping stopped as did the phone calls.
           My first day back to work after a great vacation! I had to hear that a woman called and told the manager on duty that the girl manager owed her a steak and lobster dinner, she would like to get it right then because she was hungry for it. The manager told the lady that a girl manager had not worked there for four months. There was a pause, then the lady said yes that's right, that's when it was. She insisted that she wanted that meal now. The manager said that he was unable to help her with that , but she could call the following day to talk to his General manager, she said no, she was hungry now. He apologized again and said he couldn't help her. She said to him that he was beginning to irritate her. That's right, he was irritating her. Again he apologized and said that the general manager may be able to help her tomorrow. She hung up and never called back. Wish we had that whistle for the obscene calls we get at work. I'm sure they would eventually stop as well.
