Just kidding!
Actually that's how much it cost for me to finally take the plunge and change my ISP from AOL to Bellsouth.net. Seven bucks difference, and wifey says it's coming from my gun money. Oh well.
It was worse than I expected. I had to listen to a tape recorded message by Leann Rhymes(sp?). Then wade through the choices. Wouldn't you guess that cancellation was the very last one after you waded through three or four choices? Then another important message from Leann...buy my album and a song while I'm waiting for the operator.
Ahh..finally an operator. One who speaks fluent English? HAHAHA! Good one! No..they put this guy on cancellation duty because you can't understand a damn thing he says. Engrish is the closest thing he speaks, if they speak that at all in Bangladesh. Ohh.."You want Cancell?" he aks? "Yes" I reply. Now comes the wailing and gnashing of teeth. I remember that line from somewhere, but I didn't think it was from the AOL Cancellation Line. Now he wants to know why...oh great. I don't have the time nor inclination to explain politics with this guy, even if he does understand, so I just tell him I'm not going to be using Internet anymore.
Ohh.."Ayyeee...I see." He replies. Now he offers me three months free internet before they automatically cancel me. Oh..and free of charge, not even what I currently owe. What?...umm..didn't you just understand that I said I'm not going to be using Internet anymore? So why would I need three more months free? Good greif.
Forget it ..come to think of it. For all this aggravation, you guys do owe me seven bucks!
Good Shooting
