A block and a half from my new house is a branch of the Bank of American Fork. There is a large sign in the front that I drive by every day, which says:
Bank of American Fork
Spanish Fork Branch
For some reason, I giggle every time I see that sign. My wife thinks I am crazy.
I do not, however giggle at the Cingular store sign. Rather, I get angry. In the month I have lived in my house, I have gotten approximately eight million times as many dropped calls as I have in the whole two years previous that I have been an AT&T/Cingular customer. The Cingular store that opened up just four blocks from the above-mentioned bank has a sign on the building that proudly proclaims “Fewest dropped calls of any network.” I even got a flyer in the mail yesterday reminding me that there is a new Cingular store in my neighborhood and that yes, Cingular has the “fewest dropped calls of any network.”
I tried to call Cingular and point out the irony, but my call was dropped.
