Thelma made a call to a hotel to get fixed up with a room
for a planned road trip with Louise. Everything was going right-as-rain. The
lady on the other end of the phone was right neighborly makin’ sure Thelma and
Louise got the best dadburned rate the hotel had to offer! They finished up the
call, and the lady said she was puttin’ Thelma through to some other feller.
Thelma just reckoned it was a ‘customer service’ type call.
Next thing Thelma knew, that feller was fast-talkin’ her!
That no-good-son-of-a-salesman was givin’ a pitch like his life depended on it.
He offered a four-night stay for the price of two…Thelma said nope. Then he
changed his mind – now Thelma don’t have to pay nuthin’! That-there trip was free
as long as Thelma gave him her plastic - the ol’ credit card - upfront! “Don’t
you wanna surprise Louise with a special, paid-for, trip?” That company would
take her money and keep it until she used the trip…good for up to a whole
gol-darned year! Yep, he told her that she had to pay for the trip right then
and there, she’d get the money back afterward.
What in tarnation?! That feller musta thought our Thelma
fell off the turnip truck just yesterday! He wouldn’t take “no” for an answer!
Finally, after trying to be polite-like to that snake-oil salesman, Thelma just
said, “I said NO. I’m hangin’ up now”. And that she did, don'cha know!
