The Yes No Game

One of the local radio stations has a game they play everyday starting at 4PM. The object of the game is to call in and answer a bunch of questions without saying "yes", "no", or anything that means the same thing such as "uh huh", "nuh huh", "yup", "nope" etc, etc, etc.

If you can answer a few questions that are asked quickly over a period of about a minute then you win tickets to movie premiers, or CD's, or other stuff like that. The amusing part is the frustration that builds up in the callers voices....lol. For example:

Caller #1: "Can I play the yes/no game?"
*BUZZZZZZZZ*
Caller #1: "Wait! We didn't start yet!"
Radio DJ: "Haha... sorry you can't say yes or no"

Caller #2: "Uhm...... can I play........ that game?"
Radio DJ: "You mean the yes/no game?"
Caller #2: "Yeah, that one."
*BUZZZZZZZZ*
Caller #2: "UGH!!"

Caller #3: "I'd like to play that game please"
Radio DJ: "Are you willing to play while on live radio?"
Caller #3: "Yeah"
*BUZZZZZZZZ*
Caller #3: "Oh man, I suck at this game"
Radio DJ: "Hahaha don't feel bad. Was this your first time playing?"
Caller #3: "Yeah, I've tried calling a few times but-"
*BUZZZZZZZZ*
Caller #3: "Dammit!"
Radio DJ: "Hahaha. Thanks for trying, call again next time OK?"
Caller #3: "Yeah Ok, thanks for letting me pla-"
*BUZZZZZZZZ*

Now the DJ throws a few tricks into the game :)

Radio DJ: "Line 4 you're on the air"
Caller #4: "Can I play that game please?"
Radio DJ: "Hey! Didn't you just call here a minute ago??"
Caller #4: "What?? No!"
*BUZZZZZZZZ*
Radio DJ: "Hahahaha"
Caller #4: "That's not fair, I thought you weren't playing yet!"
Radio DJ: "Hahaha. I'm sorry that was cruel, would you like to play again?"
Caller #4: "Yes"
*BUZZZZZZZZ*
Caller #4: "NO WAIT!!"
*BUZZZZZZZZ*

Next victim.

Radio DJ: "Hello line 5 is this Melissa?"
Caller #5: "Uhm No, this is Sandy"
*BUZZZZZZZZ*
Caller #5: *sigh* "Ok, that's a crock of *beep*"
Radio DJ: "Why's that? Didn't you call to play the game?"
Caller #5: "Well yeah but you should at leas-"
*BUZZZZZZZZ*
Caller #5: "You know, you're not funny at all and I think you're an ass"
Radio DJ: "Do you know the rules of the game?"
Caller #5: "Yeah of course I do-"
*BUZZZZZZZ*
Caller #5: "Will you stop that *beep* for a *beep*damn second!!!"
Radio DJ: "Why are you getting so upset?"
Caller #5: "Because I think it's bull*beep* that you trick people before they get a chance to play. I've called for days and days and can NEVER get through and when I finally do you have to go and act like a jackass!"
Radio DJ: "Damn, I feel bad that you went to all the trouble. Would you feel better if I gave you another chance?"
Caller #5: "Yeah but this time let me know when the game actually starts so-"
*BUZZZZZZZ*
Caller #5: "WHAT THE *BEEP*!!"

Radio DJ: "Well are you going to be ready some time today?"
Caller #5: "Wait........ just wait a damn sec will ya?"
Radio DJ: "Would you like to play a different game instead?"
Caller #5: "No, I want to play the yes/no game like I've been tryin-"
*BUZZZZZZZ*

Man, That's Ruff!

A pretty cool thing happened at my work a short while ago.... and I forgot about it until now.

The building where I work is also home to about 50 other companies of all various types of businesses. The majority, if not all of them, only run a dayshift and therefore the building is empty in the evenings and throughout the night. I've always known that there was a security guard that drives around the building and parking lots that are located across the street to help deter people from loitering and dumping garbage on the premises during the night.

About a month ago the security guard spotted a car parked along the bushes at the edge of the property and went to go investigate. As he pulled up he saw that there were two guys sitting in the car and he asked them to leave because they were after all, on private property. The two guys started yelling at the security guard telling him to go fly a kite (But in much harsher words if you know what I mean), and they refused to move. The security guard insisted that they move immediately or else he was going to have to take action. The two guys got out of the car and stood by the doors and continued to argue and yell. This went on for quite some time until eventually the driver of the car pulled the seat forward to allow his raging pitbull out from the backseat. The security guard then ordered the guys to get "that damn dog back in the car and the two of you get the hell out of here!".

Just then the driver released his hold on the dog's collar and commanded him to attack the security guard. The dog sprinted towards him and was preparing for attack when the security guard then reached for his gun and shot three rounds into the dog's head..... killing him instantly.

I laughed when I heard this story because if ever there was a right time to use a gun this was surely justified. The one thing I didn't understand was why a security guard for a regular old building built in the 1940's was even carrying a gun in the first place. Apparently one of the companies that own some space in the building is a high caliber metal shop that produces such things as the conference trophies for the NFL. Security is very tight at all hours of the day and regular people off the street are not allowed anywhere near the place. In fact, when the offices were moved in the company I work for wasn't even allowed to make the delivery of the cabinets and counter tops. Everything had to be dropped off at the front door and every screw, nail, and staple had to be accounted for going in and out.

But anyway, the story of those guys trying to sick a pitbull onto a building security guard just to end up having him blow the dog away made my day.
