You know you live in a rural area when your phone rings at 8:30pm and the caller, a woman you've never met, introduces herself as 'your mail lady' and asks do you still have that catalog she delivered in your mailbox today because - she hopes this doesn't sound like it's totally off the wall - she really liked that fleece jacket on the cover and she has been trying to find it on the internet but she can't for the life of her remember the company name for the catalog and - she really hates to ask you - but do you know the catalog she's talking about?
And you do know the catalog she's talking about and you go get it and tell her the company name and - after apologizing that you're making her wait because you need your reading glasses - you read and spell for her the name of the jacket and find the page in the catalog where it gives the colors the jacket comes in and before hanging up you tell her it really does look like a pretty good and warm jacket and you wish her satisfaction with her purchase.
