This is a hoot ... because some conversations do go like this .....
By the time you read through this YOU WILL UNDERSTAND "TENJOOBERRYMUDS"...

In order to continue getting-by in America (our home
land), we all need to learn the NEW English language! Practice
by reading the following conversation until you are able to
understand the term "TENJOOBERRYMUDS".

With a little patience, you'll be able to fit right in.
Now, here goes...

The following is a telephone exchange between maybe you as
a hotel guest and call room-service somewhere in the good old USA today......

Room Service : "Morrin. Roon sirbees."

Guest : "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."

Room Service: " Rye. Roon sirbees...morrin! Joowish t o
oddor sunteen???"

Guest: "Uh..... Yes, I'd like to order bacon and eggs."

Room Service: "Ow July den?"

Guest: ".....What??"

Room Service: "Ow July den?!?... pryed, boyud, poochd?"

Guest: "Oh, the eggs! How do I like them? Sorry..
scrambled, please."

Room Service: "Ow July dee baykem? Crease?"

Guest: "Crisp will be fine."

Room Service: "Hokay. An Sahn toes?"

Guest: "What?"

Room Service: "An toes. July Sahn toes?"

Guest: "I... don't think so."

RoomService: "No? Judo wan sahn toes???"

Guest: "I feel really bad about this, but I don't know
what 'judo wan sahn toes' means."

RoomService: "Toes! Toes!...Why Joo don Juan toes? Ow bow

Guest: "Oh, English muffin!!! I've got i t! You were saying
'toast'... Fine...Yes, an English muffin will be fine."

RoomService: "We bodder?"

Guest: "No, just put the bodder on the side."

RoomService: "Wad?!?"

Guest: "I mean butter... just put the butter on the side."

WILL UNDERSTAND 'TENJOOBERRYMUDS' ".....and you do, don't you ?

LOL That's hilarious. It's sad but true sometimes. My inlaws signed up for Earthlink and when you call tech support it sounds like you've reached Apu at the quickie mart. Globalization is the wave of the future and I guess we will all have to learn the new English. Tenjooberrymuds!!!

"HA"...just saw a thing on TV awhile back about how (dig-this) McDonald's was experimenting (?) with routing your "drive-thru-orders" to India...and, I'm not talking about some comedy show.

evo ...

Holy cow! What an interesting concept, routing drive through Mickey D's through India. But I have a question concerning this. Could they even sell a Big Mac in India? Hinduism is still alive and well there.

evoKENevo · #5 06-24-2008, 08:48 AM

No,chip...what I meant was that when you talk into the clown's face,some "dot-head" (a 1/2 world away) is on the other end "processing" your order...for YOU to pick-up at the window only about 30' ahead. Would you like some "cous-cous" with that ??

chipster · #6 06-24-2008, 03:39 PM

evo ... I now understand. I must have had a blonde moment. Although I did like my Holy Cow comment. Sorry for being so "dim", but it was early in the morning and I had not had my coffee yet.

Thanks for setting me straight!

From a Dell forum I posted in...

looked around the Dell website and couldn't find a version of the Haupptage TV tuner for the XPS 420 that didn't come with a Media Center remote... But apparently mine does not. At least that is what Dell Customer Support told me.

The box that was supposed to have the remote in it had a second USB mouse instead. At least, that's where the USB/IR sensor set up was... so I ASSUME that is where the remote was supposed to be. Does anyone know of any TV Tuner that Dell offers for XPS machines that DON'T come with remotes? Or am I just nuts?

For fun. here is a quick rundown of the hour-long conversation I had on Friday with Customer Support.

Person #1 (Indian accent): May I have your service tag? Thank you, what's the problem? Did you look in the box? Let me transfer you to customer support. Please remember this number. *on hold*

Person #2 (Indian accent): May I have your service tag? Thank you, what's the problem? Did you look in the box? Let me transfer you to customer support. Please remember this number. *on hold*

Person #3 (Indian accent): May I have your service tag? Thank you, what's the problem? Did you look in the box? Let me transfer you to customer support. Please remember this number. *on hold*

etc...

Person #6 (Indian accent): May I have your service tag? Thank you, what's the problem? Did you look in the box? Let me transfer you to customer support. *short rant from me* Let me transfer you to Tech Support.

Person #7 (American): Oh we're sorry for the inconvenience. We can see here on your order you were supposed to get a remote. We're going to send that right out to you. Can I have your address? *on hold*
Ummm... we can't actually send that out to you. Customer Support has to do that. I'm going to transfer you to Customer Support. *some begging and pleading from me followed by... you guessed it... being put on hold and being transfered to Customer Support*

Person #8 (Indian accent): May I have your service tag? Thank you, what's the problem? Did you look in the box? Let me transfer you to customer support. Please remember this number.

*At that point I was obviously a little upset... and I asked her not to transfer me again... anywhere. I explained AGAIN the series of events that had preceeded, to which she responded:*

"We can't help you, and we are not going to send you a remote."

I will probably never call Dell Customer Support again. I sent an e-mail via the website today. Anyone have better luck that way?
