ME: Hello?
AC SERVICES LACKEY: Hi, is this Juice?
AC SERVICES LACKEY: Hi, is this Juice?
ME: This is.
AC SERVICES LACKEY: Good afternoon. My name is Michael. I’m with A.C. Services calling on behalf of
the U.S. Armed Forces Association Fund.
ME: (CHEERFULLY ANTICIPATING THE MEAL AHEAD OF
ME) Ohhh, sure!
AC SERVICES LACKEY: I see that we got your donation to the fund
last year and so if I…
ME: Um, actually, no you don’t.
AC SERVICES LACKEY: I’m sorry?
ME: You don’t see a donation made by me last
year.
AC SERVICES LACKEY:
Well, actually I do. It was $20 from Juice Aaron.
ME: Nope.
I made no $20 donation last year.
AC SERVICES LACKEY: Heh heh, well, maybe somebody got a hold of
your checkbook then.
ME: No, that didn’t happen either. No, I made a $20 donation TWO years ago. But that was back before I learned how very
very little money actually gets to any of the charities represented by AC
Services. Which is why we now have a
hard and fast rule in this household to never donate any money to AC Services
charities under any set of circumstances.
AC SERVICES
LACKEY: Thank you for your time, Juice. You have a nice day.
ME: You too.
