[Tantallum]

okay, time for some laughs. as I have posted before, I loathe the testimonial calls because they are so awkward and rarely, if ever, provide any useful information. Below are several examples of testimonials gone awry. enjoy and PLEASE add yours. All are 100% true, many can be found on youtube.

--Bob Bowersox was selling some kitchen gadget and someone called in to say that this product worked especially well to prevent rat droppings from ending up in your food.

--Caller asking, ‘can you say hi to my cat?’ then the host said, ‘hi fluffy’ or whatever it was and then the caller says, ‘oh wait, he’s going to say hi back….wait… fluffy, say hi…say hi fluffy’.

--A woman called in about a jewelry cleaner to tell the vendor that it ruined all her jewelry and he is a fraud, etc

--Caller called in to say she had ordered a shirt in a particular color but she had a question about the material. Host described material in detail, etc. caller says, 'oh no. can you transfer me back to the operator, I want to cancel my order'.

--Sheets were on the air and this woman was raving about how wonderful a brand of sheets were and that's the only brand she would ever use, she would never think about straying to another brand--too bad it was not the brand that was on-air!

--A woman called in about a pair of earrings she said her husband was buying for her. The host asking how long they were married or something and the caller replied, ‘oh my husband passed away years ago but he would have wanted me to have them’.

--The corky's ribs were on and a guy called in to say that he loves ribs, but they always give him 'the runs' (that's a direct quote) and so he is ordering these in hopes it will be different AND he asked the vendor how they are on 'the intestines'!

--Caller was sobbing, saying her cat died so she was buying whatever was on to make herself feel better. Kept going on and on about the poor cat’s death, going into detail about its cancer and all the treatments they tried, etc, would NOT get off the phone.

--Caller was on and her (presumably) teenagers picked up another extension and started screeching into the phone, saying ‘QVC su cks’, etc.

--Caller was apparently very hard of hearing. From the first sentence the host said (which I think was ‘how are you?’) the caller kept yelling? “WHAT?!” “WHAAAAT?!” “CAN YOU SAY IT AGAIN HONEY I CAN’T HEAR YOU’. I don’t think they got past that first sentence.

--Some lady called when Rick was hosting and asked, ‘oooh Rick, why do you wear that wedding ring’ and was just gushing about how bad she wanted him! Rick’s face was beat red, first time I’ve seen him at a loss for words.
