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]
