(Major Transportation Provider)  Reservations.

A gentleman called to depart from Kirkwood, Mo and wanted to know how far north he could go on the train…no special city.

Since it was the beginning of fall I said, “oh, did you want a trip to see the Call Folors?” ( After talking all day sometimes I say things inside out and backwards)
Realizing what I had said I corrected myself with the Fall Colors @ which he laughed.

So I booked him into Vermont. He then asked me for the Kirkwood address and I said ” 110 W
Ar go ni St. (spelled Argonne) he corrected me and said it was pronounced Ar gone St. I then told him (laughing) that I am Italian and it looked like
Ar go ni St. to me.

At the end of the call he said he couldn’t wait for his wife to come home. I said “why is that sir?”
At which he replied, “to tell her about the little Italian lady that wanted to send them from
Ar go ni St to see the Call Folors!!

Hey, I got the sale and he didn’t even know where he wanted to go!
