Default Stash raiding Polly's gators

Something like that happened when I lived in Florida. A neighbor went
out to get his paper, and a 6-foot gator was sitting on it. He called
Dept of Wildlife or something. Because of the shape of the courtyard
where the front door was, the gator could not be turned around. So he
had to be chased/escorted through the house to get out the sliding glass
door in the back, and back to the pond a street or two over.

Not something I'd ever want to deal with before coffee.

For every time I kiss it
I get blood stains down my tie!"

Default recycled phone numbers, was Polly's gators

Larisa, I can go you one better --
We had our phone number changed about 2 years ago (paranoid DH, loooonng
story) and the one the phone company gave us had been the *fax* number
for a small auto repair shop. You can eventually convince a person
(pharmacy, bill collector, whatever) that they have the wrong number and
to stop calling you. You absolutely *cannot* do that with an automated
fax machine from some repo or insurance company! We regularly get calls
at 3 am from some east coast machine programmed to start calling at 6 am!

rant mode on
Did you know that the National Do Not Call Registry no longer covers
automated faxes? The original bill did, but our dear leader-in-chief saw
fit to allow an amendment a couple of years ago. They got this passed by
requiring that each company print a phone number for you to call and ask
them to not call you again. So, you use up your toner or film and your
paper to print out their fax to get their phone number and call it.
After one ream of paper, I gave up. Took the phone out of my bedroom and
told all distant family members if they have an emergency in the middle
of the night, don't bother calling because I won't hear the phone :-(
After two years I still get these at least once a day. Phone company's
suggestion is to change my phone number again but they cannot guarantee
it won't keep happening. Gonna move soon and will get a new number then.
Sigh.

Hey Taria: I got a sister like that also. She worked in phycho wards
for a living and it rubbed on on her too. We can take the sisters to
Polly's and watch the picnic on the swamp bank. Make a bet dem gators
will smile.


I know Polly would serve us finger sandwiches and tea while we sit in
the shade.

Okay, we'll all have to get busy here. One of Polly's gators is getting
so hungry for inept medical staff, rotten salespeople, etc., that it
tried to ring a doorbell to enter a home! I saw it on the news this
morning....

Y'all call sausage sandwiches finger
sandwiches?! Over here, a finger
sandwich is a very dainty sandwich made
from crustless bread, then cut into long
narrow rectangles. This would be served
at a tea.
For the party at Polly's, I'd suggest
Spam Sandwiches instead!! LOL

while I agree that it's good to watch Polly's gators picnic I'm not

for a
penutbutter and jelly one!

It's OK, Jessamy - they are saussages really. They just LOOK like
fingers...

Nah, it's just us playing... Here a finger sandwich usually means one
made from finger rolls - like hot-dog rolls but tiddly, and often made
with butter and semi-sweet, rather like brioche.

In Scotland you get a different idea again: Lorne sausage (a square
slicing sausage) in a morning roll (like a bit floury bap), along with
bacon and a fried egg! Breakfast inna bun, innit!

I couldn't quite remember the proper words, and CBA to put the record on
to find out - or go look them up in the book!

One of my apartments was one digit off for WalMart Service Desk in our
town. You can't convince someone they've dialed the wrong number when
they have a serious beef with Waly World over something. But at least
they don't call at 4 a.m.
