I was half expecting him to sell refrigerators to the Eskimo, that takes a lot of talk I have been told.
Calling in sick verbally also allows the background noise to be heard,
being sick at the cricket/baseball won't be easy to believe. By text, it sounds legit.
In a Horticultural business, the fun is trying to understand what parts of what machine the customer wants, usually takes much arm waving, looking on the shelves to see what they want, then argue how much they should pay for it, less for cash of course.
My best was half an hour on the phone. sending a couple of grands worth of parts based on the colour the machine might have been painted when it was newer.
they didn't come back, thank goodness.

hehehehe knowing my Dad.........he very well could have. They would have felt sorry for him dressed in his suit and suit coat and dress shoes he always wore lolll He even mowed the law like that and the neighbors would laugh and say he was the best-dressed mower in the neighborhood...........back in the days where all the men on a Saturday morning got up and mowed their lawns.
Lucky for us our neighbor was an Electrician and would help us when needed!!! :D
THIS is VERY impressive!!!! talking on a phone and trying to figure out what a person REALLY needs is a very impressive trait to have!!
The joys of pigeon English, a lot of Chinese and Indian immigrants would come to NZ, rent some farmers paddock, and turn it into a market garden, [green vegetable grower], they would work 28 to 30 hours a day and average 8 days a week. This left little time to learn to speak English. The only words that were totally understandable were the not suitable for mixed company ones.
The Levin [1 hour south by car] growers used one of the senior members as an interpreter, he was good, in normal conversation every 10th word started with F. When he was telling you what he wanted it rose to every 5 th word. When it was time to discuss the price, the only word you could understand was F
Then "How much for one?"," How much for two?", "How much for cash?" with the hand pulled from the pocket, filled with banknotes.
HA!!!!!!! That had to be an interesting day!!!!
He would be up with different growers about every two weeks,
Lots of fun.
