"Do you, like, ever let people into your meat-locker to, like, uh, you know,
|
||||||
|
fuck around with the meat?" I asked.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The short-haired Greek man looked at me strangely from behind the counter.
|
||||||
|
Several of the waitresses glared in my direction.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"What you mean 'fuck around'?" the dumpy Greek asked.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"You know, like shovin' your dick in and out of the openings in the meat.
|
||||||
|
Then, like, getting a bunch of smelly, sticky cream of tubesteak all over the
|
||||||
|
junk that you grind into foodburgers," I informed him.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Naw. We don't do that. You don't do that. Nobody do that," the imbecile
|
||||||
|
claimed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"I do that," I began, "and as a matter of fact, most of my pals do that too.
|
||||||
|
We like it."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Overhearing our conversation, one of the waitresses gave me a sour look.
|
||||||
|
She seemed to be acting like she was getting sick. The cook and the other two
|
||||||
|
waitresses completely ignored everything except the random orders for patty
|
||||||
|
melts and double cheeseburgers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Look, I don't wanna do nothin' weird or strange or anything. I just wanna
|
||||||
|
fuck a bunch of meat that you got in your huge ol' meat locker. Listen, don't
|
||||||
|
any of you stupid fuckers understand what I'm sayin'?" I stated in an agitated
|
||||||
|
manner.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Mister, people gotta eat my food. If you stick dick in food, no can eat.
|
||||||
|
Frank lose money. No can do," the Greek said.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"How much money would you lose, bright eyes?" I asked.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Big thing of cow cost Frank $220 for a half," Greek-man said.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Well, I wanna fuck around with about 13 of them. Let's see...that's about
|
||||||
|
$2860...and I'll give you...oh, let's see...$40 just for letting me do it,
|
||||||
|
OK?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"I dunno."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"OK. Look, I'll give you $3000 cash, RIGHT NOW, cause I like you an awful
|
||||||
|
lot, and also cause I'm fucking sick and tired or trying to talk to you
|
||||||
|
goddamn Greek half-wits."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Greek seemed to ponder what I had said for a minute, or perhaps he was
|
||||||
|
just wallowing in incomprehension. One waitress went into the back-room and
|
||||||
|
loudly threw up.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"OK. But you give Frank money NOW."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I handed the three bills over to the fool and lifted up a section of the
|
||||||
|
counter and walked into the walk-in freezer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"OK, you can fuck with 13 sides of cow, but leave cheese and other gunk
|
||||||
|
alone. OK?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There was a wide variety of different kinds of food present in the walk-in
|
||||||
|
freezer. Many, many eggs and other fine foods. I could see containers of
|
||||||
|
pancake batter and butter. On the left was what I was after. Thirteen
|
||||||
|
beautiful sides of beef!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I started to get a hard-on just looking at the beef!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"You got your cash. Get out of here!" I shouted at the geek.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I casually waltzed up to the nearest beef-side and began to sweet-talk it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Hi, new in town? Ever get into Satanism? Shit, you're cute."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The cool beef did not reply.

Part I

Theory of Operation
|

|
|
||||||

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To quote Karl Marx, blue boxing has
|
||||||
|
always been the most noble form of
|
||||||
|
phreaking. As opposed to such things
|
||||||
|
as using an MCI code to make a free
|
||||||
|
fone call, which is merely mindless
|
||||||
|
pseudo-phreaking, blue boxing is
|
||||||
|
actual interaction with the Bell
|
||||||
|
System toll network. It is likewise
|
||||||
|
advisable to be more cautious when
|
||||||
|
blue boxing, but the careful phreak
|
||||||
|
will not be caught, regardless of what
|
||||||
|
type of switching system he is under.
|
||||||
|
In this part, I will explain how and
|
||||||
|
why blue boxing works, as well as
|
||||||
|
where. In later parts, I will give
|
||||||
|
more practical information for blue
|
||||||
|
boxing and routing information.
|
||||||
|
To begin with, blue boxing is simply
|
||||||
|
communicating with trunks. Trunks must
|
||||||
|
not be confused with subscriber lines
|
||||||
|
(or "customer loops") which are
|
||||||
|
standard telefone lines. Trunks are
|
||||||
|
those lines that connect central
|
||||||
|
offices. Now, when trunks are not in
|
||||||
|
use (i.e., idle or "on-hook" state)
|
||||||
|
they have 2600Hz applied to them. If
|
||||||
|
they are two-way trunks, there is
|
||||||
|
2600Hz in both directions. When a
|
||||||
|
trunk IS in use (busy or "off-hook"
|
||||||
|
state"), the 2600Hz is removed from
|
||||||
|
the side that is off-hook. The 2600Hz
|
||||||
|
is therefore known as a supervisory
|
||||||
|
signal, because it indicates the
|
||||||
|
status of a trunk; on hook (tone) or
|
||||||
|
off-hook (no tone). Note also that
|
||||||
|
2600Hz denoted SF (single frequency)
|
||||||
|
signalling and is "in-band." This is
|
||||||
|
very important. "In-band" means that
|
||||||
|
is is within the band of frequencies
|
||||||
|
that may be transmitted over normal
|
||||||
|
telefone lines. Other SF signals, such
|
||||||
|
as 3700Hz are used also. However, they
|
||||||
|
cannot be carried over the telefone
|
||||||
|
network normally (they are "out-of-
|
||||||
|
band") and are therefore not able to
|
||||||
|
be taken advantage of as 2600Hz is.
|
||||||
|
Back to trunks. Let's take a
|
||||||
|
hypothetical phone call. You pick up
|
||||||
|
your fone and dial 1+806-258-1234
|
||||||
|
(your good friend in Armarillo,
|
||||||
|
Texas). For ease, we'll assume that
|
||||||
|
you are on #5 Crossbar switching and
|
||||||
|
not in the 806 area. Your central
|
||||||
|
office (CO) would recognize that
|
||||||
|
806 is a foreign NPA, so it would
|
||||||
|
route the call to the toll centre
|
||||||
|
that serves you. [For the sake of
|
||||||
|
accuracy here, and for the more
|
||||||
|
experienced readers, note that the
|
||||||
|
CO in question is a class 5 with
|
||||||
|
LAMA that uses out-of-band SF
|
||||||
|
supervisory signalling]. Depending
|
||||||
|
on where you are in the country, the
|
||||||
|
call would leave your toll centre
|
||||||
|
(on more trunks) to another toll
|
||||||
|
centre, or office of higher "rank".
|
||||||
|
Then it would be routed to central
|
||||||
|
office 806-258 eventually and the
|
||||||
|
call would be completed. Illustration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A---CO1-------TC1------TC2----CO2----B
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A=you CO1=your central office
|
||||||
|
TC1=your toll office.
|
||||||
|
TC2=toll office in Amarillo.
|
||||||
|
CO2=806-258 central office.
|
||||||
|
B=your friend (806-258-1234)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this situation it would be
|
||||||
|
realistic to say that CO2 uses SF
|
||||||
|
in-band (2600Hz) signalling, while
|
||||||
|
all the others use out-of-band
|
||||||
|
signalling (3700Hz). If you don't
|
||||||
|
understand this, don't worry too much.
|
||||||
|
I am pointing this out merely for the
|
||||||
|
sake of accuracy. The point is that
|
||||||
|
while you are connected to 806-258-
|
||||||
|
1234, all those trunks from YOUR
|
||||||
|
central office (CO1) to the 806-258
|
||||||
|
central office (CO2) do *NOT* have
|
||||||
|
2600Hz on them, indicating to the
|
||||||
|
Bell equipment that a call is in
|
||||||
|
progress and the trunks are in use.
|
||||||
|
Now let's say you're tired of
|
||||||
|
talking to your friend in Amarillo
|
||||||
|
(806-258-1234) so you send a 2600Hz
|
||||||
|
down the line. This tone travels down
|
||||||
|
the line to your friend's central
|
||||||
|
office (CO2) where it is detected.
|
||||||
|
However, that CO thinks that the
|
||||||
|
2600Hz is originating from Bell
|
||||||
|
equipment, indicating to it that
|
||||||
|
you've hung up, and thus the trunks
|
||||||
|
are once again idle (with 2600Hz
|
||||||
|
present on them). But actually, you
|
||||||
|
have not hung up, you have fooled the
|
||||||
|
equipment at your friend's CO into
|
||||||
|
thinking you have. Thus,it disconnects
|
||||||
|
him and resets the equipment to
|
||||||
|
prepare for the next call. All this
|
||||||
|
happens very quickly (300-800ms for
|
||||||
|
step-by-step equipment and 150-400ms for other equipment).
|
||||||
|
When you stop sending 2600Hz (after
|
||||||
|
about a second), the equipment thinks
|
||||||
|
that another call is coming towards
|
||||||
|
it (e.g. it thinks the far end has
|
||||||
|
come "off-hook" since the tone has
|
||||||
|
stopped. It could be thought of as a
|
||||||
|
toggle switch: tone --> on hook, no
|
||||||
|
tone -->off hook. Now that you've
|
||||||
|
stopped sending 2600Hz, several things
|
||||||
|
happen:
|
||||||
|
1) A trunk is seized.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2) A "wink" is sent to the CALLING end
|
||||||
|
from the CALLED end indicating that
|
||||||
|
the CALLED end (trunk) is not ready to
|
||||||
|
receive digits yet.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3) A register is found and attached
|
||||||
|
to the CALLED end of the trunk within
|
||||||
|
about two seconds (max).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4) A start-dial signal is sent to the
|
||||||
|
CALLING end from the CALLED end
|
||||||
|
indicating that the CALLED end is
|
||||||
|
ready to receive digits.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now, all of this is pretty much
|
||||||
|
transparent to the blue boxer. All he
|
||||||
|
really hears when these four things
|
||||||
|
happen is a <beep><kerchunk>. So,
|
||||||
|
seizure of a trunk would go something
|
||||||
|
like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1> Send a 2600Hz
|
||||||
|
2> Terminate 2600Hz after 1-2 secs.
|
||||||
|
3> [beep][kerchunk]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once this happens, you are connected
|
||||||
|
to a tandem that is ready to obey your
|
||||||
|
every command. The next step is to
|
||||||
|
send signalling information in order
|
||||||
|
to place your call. For this you must
|
||||||
|
simulate the signalling used by
|
||||||
|
operators and automatic toll-dialing
|
||||||
|
equipment for use on trunks. There
|
||||||
|
are mainly two systems, DP and MF.
|
||||||
|
However, DP went out with the dinosaur
|
||||||
|
, so I'll only discuss MF signalling.
|
||||||
|
MF (multi-frequency) signalling is the
|
||||||
|
signalling used by the majority of the
|
||||||
|
inter- and intra-lata network. It is
|
||||||
|
also used in international dialing
|
||||||
|
known as the CCITT no.5 system.
|
||||||
|
MF signalling consists of 7 frequen-
|
||||||
|
cies, beginning with 700Hz and
|
||||||
|
separated by 200Hz. A different set of
|
||||||
|
two of the 7 frequencies represent the
|
||||||
|
digits 0 thru 9, plus an additional 5
|
||||||
|
special keys. The frequencies and uses
|
||||||
|
are as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Frequencies (Hz) Domestic Int'l
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
700+900 1 1
|
||||||
|
700+1100 2 2
|
||||||
|
900+1100 3 3
|
||||||
|
700+1300 4 4
|
||||||
|
900+1300 5 5
|
||||||
|
1100+1300 6 6
|
||||||
|
700+1500 7 7
|
||||||
|
900+1500 8 8
|
||||||
|
1100+1500 9 9
|
||||||
|
1300+1500 0 0
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
700+1700 ST3p Code 11
|
||||||
|
900+1700 STp Code 12
|
||||||
|
1100+1700 KP KP1
|
||||||
|
1300+1700 ST2p KP2
|
||||||
|
1500+1700 ST ST
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The timing of all the MF signals is
|
||||||
|
a nominal 60ms, except for KP, which
|
||||||
|
should have a duration of 100ms. There
|
||||||
|
should also be a 60ms silent period
|
||||||
|
between digits. This is very flexible,
|
||||||
|
however, and most Bell equipment will
|
||||||
|
accept outrageous timings.
|
||||||
|
In addition to the standard uses
|
||||||
|
listed above, MF pulsing also has
|
||||||
|
expanded usages known as "expanded
|
||||||
|
inband signalling" that include such
|
||||||
|
things as coin collect, coin return,
|
||||||
|
ringback, operator attached, and
|
||||||
|
operator released. KP2, code 11, and
|
||||||
|
code 12 and the ST_ps (STart "primes")
|
||||||
|
all have special uses which will be
|
||||||
|
mentioned only briefly here.
|
||||||
|
To complete a call using a blue box,
|
||||||
|
once seizure of a trunk has been
|
||||||
|
accomplished by sending 2600Hz and
|
||||||
|
pausing for the <beep><kerchunk>, one
|
||||||
|
must first send a KP. This readies the
|
||||||
|
register for the digits that follow.
|
||||||
|
For a standard domestic call, the KP
|
||||||
|
would be followed by either 7 digits
|
||||||
|
(if the call were in the same NPA as
|
||||||
|
the seized trunk) or 10 digits (if the
|
||||||
|
call were not in the same NPA as the
|
||||||
|
seized trunk). [Exactly like dialing a
|
||||||
|
normal fone call]. Following either
|
||||||
|
the KP and 7 or 10 digits, a STart is
|
||||||
|
sent to signify that no more digits
|
||||||
|
follow. Example of a complete call:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1> Dial 1-806-258-1234
|
||||||
|
2> wait for a call-progress
|
||||||
|
indication (such as ring, busy,
|
||||||
|
recording, etc.)
|
||||||
|
3> Send 2600Hz for about 1 second.
|
||||||
|
4> Wait for about 2 seconds while a
|
||||||
|
trunk is seized.
|
||||||
|
5> Send KP+305+994+9966+ST
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The call will then connect if every-
|
||||||
|
thing was done properly. Note that if
|
||||||
|
a call to an 806 number were being
|
||||||
|
placed in the same situation, the area
|
||||||
|
code would be omitted and only KP+
|
||||||
|
seven digits+ST would be sent.
|
||||||
|
Code 11 and code 12 are used in
|
||||||
|
international calling to request
|
||||||
|
certain types of operators. KP2 is
|
||||||
|
used in international calling to route
|
||||||
|
a call other than by way of the normal
|
||||||
|
route, whether for economic or
|
||||||
|
equipment reasons.
|
||||||
|
STp, ST2p, and ST3p (prime, two
|
||||||
|
prime, and three prime) are used in
|
||||||
|
TSPS signalling to indicate calling
|
||||||
|
type of call (such as coin-direct
|
||||||
|
dialed).

||||||
|
This has been Part I of Better
|
||||||
|
Homes and Blue Boxing. I hope you
|
||||||
|
enjoyed and learned from it. If you
|
||||||
|
have any questions, comments, threats
|
||||||
|
or insults, please fell free to drop
|
||||||
|
me a line. If you have noticed any
|
||||||
|
errors in this text (yes, it does
|
||||||
|
happen), please let me know and
|
||||||
|
perhaps a correction will be in order.
|
||||||
|
Part II will deal mainly with more
|
||||||
|
advanced principles of blue boxing,
|
||||||
|
as well as routings and operators.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note 1: other highly trunkable
|
||||||
|
areas include: 816,305,813,609,205.
|
||||||
|
I personally have excellent luck
|
||||||
|
boxing off of 609-953-0000. Try that
|
||||||
|
if you have any trouble.

|

|
* How to build a BLACK BOX *
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
***************************************
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To all who dare --
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What is a BLACK BOX? A BLACK BOX
|
||||||
|
is a device that is hooked up to your
|
||||||
|
fone that fixes your fone so that when
|
||||||
|
you get a call, the caller doesn't get
|
||||||
|
charged for the call. This is good for
|
||||||
|
calls up to 1/2 hour, after 1/2 hour
|
||||||
|
the Fone Co. gets suspicious, and then
|
||||||
|
you can guess what happens.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What this little beauty does is
|
||||||
|
keep the line voltage from dropping to
|
||||||
|
10v when you answer your fone. The
|
||||||
|
line is insted kept at 36v and it will
|
||||||
|
make the fone think that it is still
|
||||||
|
ringing while your talking. The reason
|
||||||
|
for the 1/2 hour time limit is that the
|
||||||
|
Fone CO. thinks that something is wrong
|
||||||
|
after 1/2 an hour of ringing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All parts are available Radio
|
||||||
|
Shack. Using the least possible parts
|
||||||
|
and arangement, the cost is $0.98 !!!!
|
||||||
|
And that is parts for two of them!
|
||||||
|
Talk about a deal! If you want to
|
||||||
|
splurge then you can get a small PC
|
||||||
|
board, and a switch. There are two
|
||||||
|
schematics for this box, one is for
|
||||||
|
most normal fones. The second one is
|
||||||
|
for fones that don't work with the
|
||||||
|
first. It was made for use with a Bell
|
||||||
|
Trimline touch tone fone.

Once you have hooked up all the
|
||||||
|
parts, you must figure out what set of
|
||||||
|
wires go to the line and which go to
|
||||||
|
the fone. This is because of the fact
|
||||||
|
that LED's must be put in, in a certain
|
||||||
|
direction. Depending on which way you
|
||||||
|
put the LED is what controls what wires
|
||||||
|
are for the line & fone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How to find out:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hook up the box in one direction
|
||||||
|
using one set offor line and the
|
||||||
|
other for fone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*NOTE* For Model I switch should be OFF.
|
||||||
|
*NOTE* For Model ][ switch should be
|
||||||
|
set to side connecting the led.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once you have hooked it up, then
|
||||||
|
pick up the fone and see if the LED is
|
||||||
|
on. If it is, the LED will be lit. If
|
||||||
|
is doesn't light then switch the wires
|
||||||
|
and try again. Once you know which are
|
||||||
|
which then label them. *NOTE* - If
|
||||||
|
neither directions worked then your
|
||||||
|
<EFBFBD>lable the switch in its current
|
||||||
|
position as BOX ON.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How to use it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The purpose of this box is not to
|
||||||
|
poeple who call you so it would make
|
||||||
|
sence that it can only be used to
|
||||||
|
receive! calls. When the box is *ON*
|
||||||
|
then you may only recieve calls. Your
|
||||||
|
fone will ring like normal and the LED
|
||||||
|
on the box will flash. If you answer
|
||||||
|
the fone now, then the LED will
|
||||||
|
light and the caller will not be charged.
|
||||||
|
Hang up the fone after you are done
|
||||||
|
talking like normal. You will not be
|
||||||
|
able to get a dial-tone or call when
|
||||||
|
the box is on, so turn the box *OFF*
|
||||||
|
for normal calls. I don't recommend
|
||||||
|
that you leave it on all the time, as
|
||||||
|
you don't want it to answer when Ma
|
||||||
|
Bell calls!

BASTARD OPERATOR FROM HELL #1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's backup day today so I'm pissed off. Being the BOFH, however, does have
|
||||||
|
it's advantages. I assign the tape device to null - it's so much more
|
||||||
|
economical on my time as I don't have to keep getting up to change tapes every
|
||||||
|
5 minutes. And it speeds up backups too, so it can't be all bad.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A user rings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Do you know why the system is slow?" they ask
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"It's probably something to do with..." I look up today's excuse ".. clock
|
||||||
|
speed"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Oh" (Not knowing what I'm talking about, they're satisfied) "Do you know
|
||||||
|
when it will be fixed?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Fixed? There's 275 users on your machine, and one of them is you. Don't be
|
||||||
|
so selfish - logout now and give someone else a chance!"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"But my research results are due in tommorrow and all I need is one page of
|
||||||
|
Laser Print.."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"SURE YOU DO. Well; You just keep telling yourself that buddy!" I hang up.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sheesh, you'd really think people would learn not to call!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The phone rings. It'll be him again, I know. That annoys me. I put on a
|
||||||
|
gruff voice
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"HELLO, SALARIES!"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Oh, I'm sorry, I've got the wrong number"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"YEAH? Well what's your name buddy? Do you know WASTED phone calls cost
|
||||||
|
money? DO YOU? I've got a good mind to subtract your wasted time, my wasted
|
||||||
|
time, and the cost of this call from your weekly wages! IN FACT I WILL! By
|
||||||
|
the time I've finished with you, YOU'LL OWE US money! WHAT'S YOUR NAME - AND
|
||||||
|
DON'T LIE, WE'VE GOT CALLER ID!"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I hear the phone drop and the sound of running feet - he's obviously going to
|
||||||
|
try and get an alibi by being at the Dean's office. I look up his username
|
||||||
|
and find his department. I ring the Dean's secretary.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Hello?" she answers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Hi, SIMON, B.O.F.H HERE, LISTEN, WHEN THAT GUY COMES RUNNING INTO YOUR OFFICE
|
||||||
|
IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS, CAN YOU GIVE HIM A MESSAGE?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"I think so..." she says
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"TELL HIM `HE CAN RUN, BUT HE CAN'T HIDE'"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Um. Ok"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"AND DON'T FORGET NOW, I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT THAT FILE
|
||||||
|
IN YOUR ACCOUNT WITH YOUR ANSWERS TO THE PUURITY TEST IN IT..."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I hear her scrabbling at the terminal...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"DON'T BOTHER - I HAVE A COPY. BE A GOOD GIRL AND PASS THE MESSAGE ON"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
She sobs her assent and I hang up. And the worst thing is, I was just guessing
|
||||||
|
about the purity test thing. I grab a quick copy anyway, it might make for
|
||||||
|
some good late-night reading.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Meantime backups have finished in record time, 2.03 seconds. Modern technology
|
||||||
|
is wonderful, isn't it?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another user rings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"I need more space" he says
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Well, why don't you move to Texas?" I ask
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"No, on my account, stupid."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Stupid?!?.... Uh-Oh..
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"I'm terribly sorry" I say, in a polite manner equal to that of Jimmy Stewart
|
||||||
|
in a Family Matinee "I didn't quite catch that. What was it that you said?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I smell the fear coming down the line at me, but it's too late, he's a goner
|
||||||
|
and he knows it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Um, I said what I wanted was more space on my account, *please*"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Sure, hang on"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I hear him gasp his relief even though he covered the mouthpeice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"There, you've got plenty of space now"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"How much have I got"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now this REALLY *PISSES* *ME* *OFF*! Not only do they want me to give them
|
||||||
|
extra disk, they want to check it, to correct me if I don't give them enough.
|
||||||
|
They should be happy with what I give them *and that's it*!!!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Back into Jimmy Stewart mode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Well, let's see, you have 4 Meg available"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Wow! Eight Meg in total, thanks!" he says pleased with his bargaining power
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"No" I interrupt, savouring this like a fine red, at room temperature "4 Meg in
|
||||||
|
total..."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Huh?... I'd used 4 Meg already, How could I have 4 Meg Available?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I say nothing. It'll come to him.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhH!"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I kill me; I really do!
