fine print
the mercury news newspaper sent a nice young person to our door with an offer for the sunday paper that the beautiful and talented alisa couldn't resist. i would have told them to get the hell off my damn lawn. i must be an old fart. anywho, every week we patiently waited for delivery. never happened. every week they'd call us and ask us how we like our paper. every week we'd have to say we haven't gotten any. this went on for six weeks. so we cancelled the subscription. we don't even care about the few dollars we paid in advance. now they've been calling us every week for four weeks asking us why we cancelled our subscription. and every week we have to tell them it's because they never delivered the papers we paid for. oh! they say sounding surprised. i can't wait for next week's call. apparently we really paid for weekly phone calls. i guess we should have read the fine print.
