    I feel like Thump

    I'm getting a call from some b/s place in SLT, UT........and lo and behold, they actually leave a message. It's a recorded message. But they leave one.

    They mention my name, my street address, and they say (naturally) "This is not a solicitation or sales call or request to buy anything".

    They say I've won 'something' and they mention the brand name "Ford". They do NOT say "You won a Ford auto". They say this is in response to "an entry you made at a shopping center, mall, or online".

    I finally just blocked 'em. Course, they'll just call back from a different number.

    There seems to be no end, and all this wonderful government regulation seems to be useless. They can't be blocked.

    They're calling to tell you that you won the latest and greatest towing vehicle Ford makes.
    TO which, you will kindly say, "No thanks, I want a Chevy".

    I would never have entered a contest with a Ford product as the prize.

    It was a whole lot easier to get older, than to get wiser.
