jim_pToday I did something I've been meaning to do for months now -- call up AOL and cancel the account that I played with a long time ago and that's been billing my credit card US$23.90/month ever since. Yeah, I know. So I call the number on the credit-card statement and after going through voicemail jail and one human I get transferred to another gentleman who must be on Some Good Stuff...
With a deep, rich voice that would be ideal for radio he intones "Goooood afternoon, my name is Gus, how can I make your online experience better today?"
I reply with a chuckle, "You can cancel my AOL service"
We share some amusing back-and-forth as he completes the transaction. As he rings off he says (probably required by corporate edict) "Thank you for choosing AOL". Uh, right. I just UN-chose you guys...
