It's the simple things.......

**Damn True** · 05-09-2006

So I ordered parts to be drop-shipped here at my office rather than at home so I wouldn't have to worry about not being there to sign, Brown leaving expensive stuff on my porch etc.

But the best thing about having parts delivered at work is hearing the receptionist announce over the PA, "True, come to the front desk. You have a large package."

Hey, we all want everyone at work to think we have a large "package"!

I'd sure like to see the look on her face when she realizes just what she is saying.

**AAW** · 05-09-2006

Nope, just let it echo around the building.

This reminds me of when I owned my semi tractor and trailer. I walked into a certain Allied agent one morning and the ops manager said, "That is a nice unit you have there", remarking about my truck and trailer. Well, needless to say, that did not go over that well in a roomfull of movers. She sort of eeked back into her office.

Yep, those moments in life either make you, or break you, eh?

I had one a ways back, I was pretty high level manager in a public company, and we were in Sexual Harrassment training. A question was asked, and they asked me wht I thought would happen to the employee in such a case. My response? Without thinking: He's screwed..... Nice job Mark, you just passed the test.

A company I used to work for never had sexual harrassment training until one of the vice presidents was sued for it! Anyway, they sent the Ice Queen from Human Resources around to do the training at all the offices. We all gathered in the conference room and were given a booklet titled Sexual Harrassment Training. I looked at it and said aloud, "I thought harrass was two words".
The Ice Queen didn't see the humor.

In my radio controlled racing days my race name was Richard Goeziner. It was hilarious listening to the announcer once they figured it out.

Best part about getting anything delivered to work or place of business when using the brown truck is they cant leave a package without being liable for it, Home deliveries your stuck with what you get most often.

Even if you got a home business and they leave a package and your dog eats/shreds it they will pay for it lol.(has to be addressed to a business name)

From experience this applies to packages not needing signatures.

Just something to think about...

One word "Porkeys"!!!!!!

**Steve Chryssos** · 05-10-2006

You're lucky. It could have gone horribly wrong:

Male gets on loudspeaker and says: "True, come see me. I have a large package for you."

**rob07002** · 05-10-2006

Talk about mis-speaking... I saw one of the blooper tv shows awile back with a clip from a local news/weather station.... The Woman achor said to the weather guy: "Hey Bill whatever happened to those 8 inches your promised last night" The look on her face as soon as she said it was priceless... True story...

**SickSpeedMonte** · 05-10-2006

lmao @ this thread!

High School Knowledge Bowl my senior year - team name "Mike Hunt"

Actual quote from the female principal over the entire school loud speaker "Would the following please report to the auditorium, the brainiacs, the math nuts, . . . and Mike Hunt" there was a brief pause and then "would the last team please report to the principle's office"

It was worth and I got a three day vacation out of it!

I used to work in reinsurance, one broker we dealt with was named '**** Standing" no kidding. He did not go by Richard just ****.

Every time the receptionist would announce his phone calls for me I would start cracking up, it was hard to keep a straight face in meetings when he was introduced.

Also, one of my buddies would call and say his name was Craven Morehead. Priceless!
