to pontificate is to masturbate the caliphate
I am writing this from work. Why? Because it is summer and there is NOTHING to do. No tenants complaining about heat. Just now I hung up on a Chinese liquor store owner - they paid their rent late for June - I didn't know they paid till I looked them up in the system.
BUT,
I know the girl who answered the phone - her English is fine - and she was pretending not to know English when I was asking her about the rent. I used to get worked up and really frustrated - but now I know it is a pretty good strategy. It's a really good way to get me off the phone. Now I just say something really offensive - like "your wines are bottom shelf rotten grapes swimming in tannins."
Nothing like a razor sharp wit to keep people in check.
