Wery cool haha !!!! !!!!!

Or this one not me in this one!!

Helping out an old friend

From the Assholes again!!

had my coffee to my left,
paper on the other side,
as I sipped and perused,
the…classified.

Toyota Camry for sale,
blue,
1993,
under 20,000 miles.
this sounded good to me.

maybe too good,
maybe it's sold.
my mouth got dry,
my coffee grew cold,

as I dialed the number,
tapping my shoe,
as I realized it was,
(405) 842-9842.

that number seemed so familiar.

"hello!" said a man,
his voice…gruff and cold.
"I'm calling about the Camry -
is it already sold?"

"I sold it last week!"
he went berserk.
I thought to myself,
"HEY, THAT'S THE ASSHOLE!"

"so call the paper.
spend a dime.
cancel the ad.
save us both some time!"

"it's almost expired.
just leave me alone!"
he finished his screaming,
and slammed down the phone.

so, I called the paper.
it's the kind thing to do.
"this is Julie," someone answered.
"can I help you?"

"my ad for the Camry -
I'm renewing it,
for two more weeks,
and…cut the price a bit."

"from $13,000 to…$8,000,
and ad a line,
call until 2 A.M.,
let ring,
a long…long…time."

"no problem, sir.
that's two weeks more.
do you want this on your VISA,
as we've done before?"

"yeah, that'd be great,
and I've a favor to ask,
my dog chews my paper,
when it's thrown on the grass."

"have the paperboy,
with all his might,
throw it on the roof,
way out of sight."

----------
I was in a bad mood,
really feeling blue.
my girlfriend dumped me.
I dialed (405) 842-9842.
a familiar voice said,
"hello."

"this is Eric from the paper.
you placed a classified ad.
I'm calling to see if you're happy,
with the results you've had."
"you idiot!" the jerk screamed.
"you ran my ad for two extra weeks!"
"I'm sorry, sir,
for causing you trouble,
I'll issue you a refund,
on the double."

"I'll do it now,
it won't be hard.
what's the number,
of your credit card?"

he gave me his number,
and the expiration date,
then slammed down the phone,
still irate.

I felt a lot better,
and thought I might try,
to patch things up with my girlfriend,
'cause I'm that kind of guy.

sent her candy and flowers,
and a bottle of wine.
I didn't stop,
I was feeling fine.

sent her to Paris,
to see the Mona Lisa,
and I charged it all,
on the Jerk's VISA

----------
it was one of those mornings,
when everything turns bad.
tried to open frozen orange juice,
and broke off the tab.

tried a pair of pliers,
they sort of worked,
but splattered orange juice,
all over…my new white shirt.

"calm down," I thought,
"some things always work."
I picked up the phone,
and called the jerk.
a recording came on,
it made me nervous,
"this number is
no longer in service."

I called Ma Bell,
thought I'd give it a try,
"(405) 842-9842 has been disconnected,
and I want to know why."

"$153.24,
is the exact amount,
it's what's owed,
on the account."

"oh man,
well, let's see,
I'll pay that right now,
it's worth it to me."

sure glad I had the
jerk's credit card number!
that's VISA card
number 4901 93…
