Summer 2000.
It was the second weekend of June, and I had just moved into my new place across the street with air conditioning and cable tv. So anyway, being the young whipper-snapper I am, I immediately plugged in my tv and found that I wasn't receiving any reception I decided to call the attendant and inform him of my problem.

"Hi, there. Um.. my Cable isn't working!" I said.

"Oh okay. Come down." he replied.

I don't know how coming down to the reception area would fix my Cable situation but I decided to follow the Indian guy's advice.

When I went down there, I had to remind him that I called 5 minutes earlier. A light flashed in his head, and he handed me a new set of keys.

"Here's your keys", he said.

Confused, I replied, "No, no. I want Cable TV."

"Keys, I know, Keys!!", he said while swinging the keys back and forth.

Good grief. [b a c k]
