I can't stop laughing.

I think my favorite lines are "It's a difference of opinion" and "I'm not a mathematician".

And, of course, the payment that goes with it:

(payment by a different person)

That guy stayed so calm. I would have been yelling at them. The cheque is hilarious!

The check is my favorite part. I wondered what Verizon did with it.

I must not be in the mood today because that strikes me not as funny, but as pathetic. Trouble is, those people are in control of this guy's bill. Yarrrgh! DH recently had email from a teacher asking him to explain what a billion is. The teacher had tutored math in summer remedial program for middle school. Yarrrrgh, again! But at least there are jobs out there for the math disabled --Verizon. Oh, and teaching in our district.

funny thing is as i found the WHOLE conversatation on youtube, the guy is actually told how the total amounted to about 72 dollars.......Wireless cards are subject to roaming fees as well. NOTE: Read the contract

That certainly makes a difference, oceansluver78. I will have to check that out.
