Default Bizarre marketing strategy

Just had a young lady in the 'phone selling office supplies. At the end of the conversation she said:

"When you receive the catalogue you must turn to page 12 straight away. There's a picture of me - I'm the blonde one"

Can't wait!

lol

Would definitely get me to call back with an order - if she's fit

In fact, it's probably not even her, it's just to make you think you're chatting to a fit blonde while you're ordering your paperclips.

Nice ploy

Yeah, I guessed that it would probably be a model. Never mind - a bit of flirting helps to pass the time.

The thing that gets me is that when you flirt with somebody on the phone, it is usually such a dissapointment if you actually meet them. The number of women* who sound like babes on the phone but are munters in the flesh is staggering.

*The same is probably true for men as well

As a 20 year old, my dick pointed me all the way down to London (long journey from Edinburgh ) to stay with a girl from the Royal Bank who I'd got to know quite well over the last few months and obviously only over the phone........

Being young and relatively skint... I got the overnight bus down and she agreed to meet me in Victoria Street Station, very early in the morning.....

You guessed it..... total rather extremely large and odarous(sp) munter........ with a lovely voice. Quick lunch, a bull**** excuse, and back home the same night

Never ever taken anyone at voice value again

What's that 8 or 9 hours on a bus in the hope of a leg over without getting a pic of her first? There's faith and then there's SiPie

Hmmm... if they were as gorgeous as the sounded, would they be meeting up with strangers that they had only ever talked to on the 'phone....?

Answers on a postcard, please.

Close..... but no cigar

Had been in a 'far-too-young-to-get-involved-but-did-anyway' long term relationship with a girl from the same (small) town and I thought it would be a nice dirty weekend away. I never expected her to be Miss World ...and it wouldn't of mattered as none of my mates would of been likely to be out in Billericay (where she came from) to see me

Anyway....I've let my standards slip in the distant past, but I still couldn't stoop this low

I caught a whiff of her feet before I was within 10 feet of her .......

She was so rank, she could of been related to Bob Gelfof !!

Honestly... I would of and was well prepared to do so.........









....but nope......it perhaps wasn't even about standards....just physical and nasal repulsion.
We went on one of the London tour buses in the morning and I had to ask to sit upstairs in the light rain... as her feet were smelling so bad !!!

At least I hope it was her feet that smelled like that

I'm a very *voice ist* person..

....and adore the sound of some blokes on the phone

But I learned long ago that not one of them ever matches up to the voice

Always best to keep the image in tact and never meet them

<<blokes from Scotland are the best>>
