Do you do?

Or tell all subsequent callers my tech will be there in half an hour. If he doesn't show up, call the boss on his cell phone. And then give out the actual number of the locksmith business. Of course, no one shows up.

Your answer might work better.

I hear yah. I've also done factory work, which is often just as bad. I've got a couple referral companies. Great work, but a whole different set of people problems.

I'll send you a bill.

You couldn't compose a proper bill if you had four years of accounting college. (mighta been a bit oversnotty, please credit me for the excess.)

Top posting fixed.

Sure, he had answers like that but wouldn't have responded that way during normal interaction with others.

I would suggest the Webmaster that set up the page. The sysadim at the server farm, may be in different parts of the world.

They still call themselves webmasters? I thought that was passe, being such a 1990s buzzword. A well-run web site has a contact point listed at the bottom, but for some you have to do a lot of online digging based on the domain name.

I guess they do. Google Webmaster Central

Just sayin' as we haven't seen the offending web page.

I got a call one early morning, as I manned the phones.

"This is Morton Dean of CBS News, New York!" "What can you tell me about the Haitians?" (circa 1980)

Me: "Well Morton, I can't tell you *damn* thing!" "Here is the number for the immigration detention facility."

Gave him the number and he never called me back.

I dunno. Maybe he had a few more zippy answers that didn't get written down?

Yes, it's possible to go back and forth a couple times with the "call me" routine. That's another moment when a snippy answer might goad them into action.

There's woods near his place?

Bear children should be leery of this.

He lives down the way from me, and mows my lawn. Musta been his part time job when the kids were in school, and crack wasn't selling all that well.

Sure, plenty of woods near the Vatican. And yes, bears s*it in the Vatican.

Only if the priest asks them to bear all. Is a furry cub bear naked?
