the cable companies hire competent people? 
Cableman: So your speed is real slow.
Mango: That's right, I called 2 weeks ago, glad you remembered me.
Cableman: (with boogies running down his face and wiping it on his sleeve)
Let me try to get a web site.
Mango: Here try SoWal, watch, the pictures don't load. It takes forever for me to post the smilie with the rolling eyes.
Cableman checks signal strength on modem with his toys.
Cableman: Well it looks like your modem is fine.
Mango: Geez Sherlock, I already knew that- they tested it from central
Cableman: Let me look in cable box, where is it?
Mango:
You are the cable man right? (I reach for can of Lysol to spray in his eyes just in case) It's in my garage.
Cableman: Well, the cord is bunched up.
Mango: It's been like that for 13 years. Gotta any other bright ideas?
The problem has to be on the pole.
Cableman: Well I would have gotten a call from others saying they have signal problems.
Mango: So what do you propose the problem is?
Cableman does a check of signal and it is ok from garage.
Mango: Why don't you go up the pole and check it out there?
Cableman: I just graduated and I can't go on the poles yet. :shock:
I don't think I have ever slammed the door faster.
and I waited 10 minutes to enter my office after the the Lysol fog and cleaning any boogie remains.
