What Happens?

[R. Richard]

What happened was that I noticed that my undershorts were getting a bit shabby. So, I hied myself down to a store and then to the men's underwear aisle. What to my wondering eyes should appear but a sale on a five pack of a good brand in the style I wear. I purchased a five pack and took it home.

Arriving home, I opened the five pack to inspect my new undershorts. Something fluttered out of the package and I grabbed it, thinking that my new undershorts were already falling apart. However, the fluttering item was a small slip of paper telling me that my undershorts had been inspected by '21.'

Now for my questions.

What happens if I write the manufacturer saying, "Number 21 did a good job. My new undershorts arrived in good order and all is well."

What happens if I write the manufacturer saying, "Number 21 must be on drugs. My new undershorts arrived with threads hanging and all wrinkled."

Comments? TIA.

Nothing - unless you can write in Chinese characters.

If I wanted to communicate with a Chinese or perhaps Indian, I would just call their damn telephone support line [assuming they have a telephone support line.]

I had a sales call from India a couple of hours ago, asking whether I wanted to transfer any debit balances from my other credit cards to their one.

It took me about five minutes to understand her strongly accented English.

Then I said "No."

She understood that.

I don't use that credit card because when I had a problem with the account I couldn't make their support staff understand what I was annoyed about. Eventually I gave up and walked into their local branch. It took their manager three days of phone calls to solve my complaint.

I cut the card up in disgust but the account is still live with a nil balance.

What happens is . . . the rest of the story.

Inspected by 21 what? Gerbils? Las Vegas cops? Vestal virgins? Oompa-loompas?

Actually nothing will happen.

The company won't care one whit about it, might get your address and write you a check reimbursement, but otherwise nothing. The inspectors aren't all issued one number each anymore, instead the things are packaged up with the inspected by tag and then at random a package is grabbed up and inspected by someone.

The wonders of mass producing.

Even on sale, I was expecting a bit of individual attention. What a disappointment.

Las Vegas CSI guys would be nice.

I like that Grissom character.

He could inspect my panties anytime.
