Car Keys
They weren't in my pockets. Suddenly I realized I must have
left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot.
My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys
in the car's ignition. He's afraid that the car could be stolen. As
I looked around the parking lot, I realized he was right. The
parking lot was empty. I immediately called the police. I gave
them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car,
and that it had been stolen.
Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband: "I
left my keys in the car and it's been stolen."
There was a moment of silence. I thought the call had been
disconnected, but then I heard his voice.
"Are you kidding me?" he said, "I dropped you off!"
Now it was my turn to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well,
More info: 8556 5940 will you come and get me."
aldinga.communitycentre@gmail.com He retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this
cop that I didn't steal your car!"
A lady died this past September, and MBNA bank billed her in
October and November for their annual service charges on her
credit card, and then in December added late fees and interest
on the monthly charge. The balance that had been 0.00, now is
somewhere around 60.00.
A family member placed a call to the MBNA Bank:
Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you that my grandma died
in September.'
MBNA: 'But the account was never closed and so the late fees
and charges still apply.'
Family Member: 'Maybe, you should turn it over to your col-
lections section.'
MBNA: Since it is two months over due, it already has been.'
Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she
is dead?'
MBNA: 'Either report her account to the Frauds Department or
report her to The Credit bureau, maybe both!'
Family Member: 'Do you think God will be mad at her?'
MBNA: 'Excuse me?'
Family Member: 'Did you just get what I was telling you . . The
part about her being dead?'
MBNA: 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.'
