Laughed till I cried!

When was the last time you almost fell down from laughing? I had to call the Texas Laporoscopy Center today to dispute a billing error (long story). Anyway, they had to put me on hold and this "On-Hold Music" kicked in. They had some wedding singer record an original tune that almost had me wetting myself. I've called them 3 times now asking to be put on hold just so I could play this gem for people in the office. None of them have recovered yet and they've started calling it themselves just to hear it. I kid you not....for a good time call 409-719-0009 and tell them you wish to be put on hold because you need to hear the inspiring on-hold music. If you don't trust me, you can point your browser to http://www.felixspiegelmd.com and click on Contact Us, compare the phone numbers, and you'll know I'm not setting you up!

After you hear it, imagine being left on hold for 1/2 hour having to hear this over 60 times in a row! Now I'm craving cheese and corn both at the same time!

BubbaMe20022003,

I'm so sorry that they rejected your request. They called me before and asked me to stop having people call to be put on hold. Their phone system has been under seige since I posted this along with the people at my office who continue to call it. Put ME on hold for a half hour will they........I'll fix their ass I will.

Paybacks I tell you. Oh well maybe some other day when they least expect it..

For now You have them working those phones..:)

Did I not predict they'd be mad?!! You guys are cracking me up. There's got to be a way to hear this without calling and asking to be put on hold! Bobalooey, you are such a rubble-rouser!

Wait, Kelly, you were/are on WHAT Commercial?!! Do tell!!

What I should probably do is record the on-hold music to a digital file and post it here on the site for people to click on in order to hear it. It just dawned on me that I have to visit that Dr. on the 27th of this month for my first fill and I probably don't want him pissed off at me when I'm there with a syringe stuck in my belly.

Good thought. I always knew you were a smart feller. :)

Kellymoos,

You are in that commercial???? :rolleyes

I was only kidding....its a masterpiece!

Did you by any chance provide the ...gulp....music?

Damn, why didn't I just tell the post office it was an electric tooth brush? DOH!

I'm calling but the number's busy. The fact we're tying up the lines is funny enough!

Better yet--Let the world now exactly what you're sending to your loved (and perhaps not so loved) ones. As a general habit I make sure to label any package I'm sending out with its' exact contents with A LARGE BLACK FELT PEN.

For Example--I labeled my Best Friends 40 birthday Package as such:

CONTENTS: 1 Tru-Touch Life Like Look-A-Like Blow Up Brad Pitt Doll with Extra- Extra Large Member attached.

I find that the UPS man/woman get a huge charge out of this.

To hell with discrete brown packaging.

I also sign for UPS stuff with the Name Sally Lipschitz or Buckfutz--

Small amusements for a small mind

Put ME on hold for a half hour will they........I'll fix their ass I will.

What are you, the Lap Banded Yoda? Eat tiny bites, I will. Sip and not gulp I shall. Productive burps I won't.

hummm...i tried calling but all i got were options that left me with a ringing line for three minutes striaght..talk about a hard office to get to talk to some one....jeeezz. I hope that some one can hear it here.lol i will try again in a few minutes to see if they are less busy.. ha ha

ha ha i called back and they closed the office early...what a shock

anything to get to go home early. I want my next nursing job to be in a bariatric office..they never answer the phones..ha ha
