By this episode my skills are getting a lot better. In this one, I received a call from a guy claiming to be my cable company. In this scam, they apologize for the high prices and offer you a refund and eventually ask for your credit card. Of course your real company ain't gonna lower your prices! (This is especially infuriating to me because I ACTUALLY go to people's homes and ACTUALLY renegotiate their cable bills with real results.)
I play with them for a bit and make them slip up and claim they're AT&T one minute and Spectrum the next. When they claim their software update is going to improve my picture and sound, I betray my expertise and ask how software can somehow change the physical properties of my television. It went over their heads and they just thought I was a confused old guy.
I tell them my name is Foghorn Leghorn, and I love how they don't know who he is. It's just such a beautiful thing.
