I Just Could Not Help Myself

Sometimes an opportunity presents itself and it is just too good to pass up.  This evening my cell rang and it was a toll free number that I did not recognize and as all the bills are paid for this month so it wasn't a bill collector, I answered it.  It was a group doing a public opinion survey.  Now I have a lot of opinions.  I tend to try  (notice I did say try)  to keep them to myself as much as possible but if you ask, well it is all fair game then.  So the little girl is reading her questions and I am answering and after about 15 minutes I stopped her and asked how much longer cos I had somewhere to go.  Bet you are not surprised that at that point we were nearly done.  After a few demographic questions (age, marital status, blah, blah, blah she asked what state I was in.  My answer, "Confusion".  Yes, indeedy, there was a moment of brief silence.  That ain't in the script.  Bless that child's heart, she is either very disciplined or has no sense of humor or she just plain old didn't get it.  She says 'I'm sorry ma'am, that is not on our list of choices'.  So I said 'never mind honey' and gave her my state of residence.  I know nobody likes a smartass but it was funny.  I am just hoping she was that disciplined because God bless anybody that don't have more of a sense of humor than that.
