Okay, so I get a unknown number call, and it's a recording saying that I have no problem with my credit card account, but if I'd like to lower my interest rate to 6.8%, press one. Sweet. I pressed one. A real lady answers, and I ask about lowering my credit card's interest rate. Then she asks, "Are you in credit card debt of $4,000 or more?"I admittedly said,"Noooo," laughingly. I realize it's not uncommon for people to be in credit card debt of those proportions, so my laughter wasn't derisive, but just out of relief that I'm not. And she immediately hung up! Aw, but I wanted to lower my interest rate.
It reminds me of a time a while back when this guy called the house and he said, "Hello, this is Kermit with blah blah blah company. We can do blah blah blah and blah blah blah--"
I felt a torrent of laughter about to break forth. It took everything in me to hold it in for long enough to ask,"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Did you just say 'this is Kermit'?"
He paused and hesitatingly said, "Yes."
I couldn't help myself after that. I mean, come on, the guy's name was Kermit! Like the frog! I went into hysterics and finally said, "Mom, Kermit is on phone for you!"
When my mom got the phone she said, "Hello, Kermit? Please forgive my daughter . . . "

I can hear that loud guffaw all the way in Bham.
Why did I crack up laughing when I read, "And she immediately hung up!"
Why was that so funny to me?
