"Peggy's" Cousin?

   Of course we can't be sure. But we think it
might have been "Peggy's" cousin who called
our house last evening.
   You all remember "Peggy." That's the
"Russian sounding" guy on the TV
commercials for............gee..........I wonder if
you even remember what "Peggy" was
peddling?
   Was it Capital One Visa, Discover Card,
American Express, or MasterCard?
   We'll remind you of the answer in a
minute.
   First though, on to our call.
   My wife answered the phone. We don't know
this "Peggy's" name because very little of
what he said was intelligible!
   The dialect seemed to be "Indian" (New
Delhi as opposed to Comanche!). But a
check of the area code reveled the call was
coming from somewhere in Oregon!
    As far as we know that's still part of the
United States.
    Anyhow from the little my wife could
understand our caller was apparently
trying to interest us in a home security
system.
    Unable to turn him down in either
Hindi or  the Comanche version of
Shoshone, my wife simply said "No
thank you" and hung up!
     Between our lock, our dead bolt, and
our trained cockatiel we actually feel
pretty secure.
     But we'll give it a little thought and,
if we decide we need more security, maybe
we'll call "Peggy" to see if we have enough
points on our Discover Card to get a Pit Bull!
    Hope you're safe and sound and that all
your NEWS is good!
