In today's world of uncertain life, what is the point of health insurance that is sold with card which ultimately expires in just one year?-mahesh2k (March 17, 2012, 06:54 PM)

Still, it might last longer than the life insured....

I had one of those phone scammers call me a few months ago. I really wanted to mess with him but the conversation went something like this, because I became annoyed by his thick, difficult to understand accent:

him: Hi, this is Bob* from Microsoft. We have been getting reports that you have a [garbled] on your computer.
me: A what?
him: a [garbled]
me: Can you repeat that again please?
him: You have a [garbled] on your computer.
me: Perhaps you can get someone at your company that can speak English that I can understand?
him: If you could just go to your computer...
me: If you could just call me back when you can speak proper English... [click]

*I don't remember if his name was actually Bob or not. I am just using that for lack of a better substitute. No offense intended to any real Bobs out there.

Do you mean "He:" instead of "Him:"?  That was deliberate, "Mim:" didn't quite cut it ;)
