I thought I'd seen or heard it all  when it  comes to  selling things by
telephone.    People  have  tried to  sell me  all sorts  of amazing and
wonderful things.  I was wrong!  Last night I got a call  from an outfit
called "Club USA" who wanted  to send  me to  the Spanish  Riviera for a
week  at  a  four  star  hotel  for  two  (only  one  round trip airfare
provided).  And all I had to do was give the nice man my  Visa number so
he could put a 2 year membership in  their buying  service on  it.  What
could be more reasonable, you ask?  

The cost for all this (including  the vacation  valued at  $1500.)?  Why
just $399!  What a bargain!

He hung up when I started to laugh.  I don't understand why.
