Buy a polite phone call
Now here’s an interesting auction on eBay.
> Have you noticed how manners seem to have vanished in the last several years? Rudeness and vulgarity are the rule of the day. Well, I’m going to change that in your life (for 10 minutes anyway)!
The winner of this auction will get me, MadAmish (otherwise known as AmishSteve), calling YOU on the phone (in the US and Canada), or on Skype worldwide(!) for a full 10 minutes being polite, genteel, and courteous to you! We’ll talk about what YOU want to talk about (excluding vulgarity and profanity)! I will not interrupt, belittle or talk over you. If I disagree with you, I will not dismiss you or excuse your position. Rather, I will give you my full attention and consider your position, while making the case for mine in a polite and gentle manner. If funny, I will laugh at your jokes, and may tell you some myself!
I was googling my name (AmishSteve) and what should I find but this entry about my recent auction! How cool is that! I used Skype to call the winner, and we had a great conversation, and I didn’t worry about the time, ‘cuz Skype has FREE outgoing calls to the US and Canada until at least the rest of this year. You guys rock!
