I actually met Nortel’s (Northern Telecom) Meridian Mail Mary.  Her voice was considered to have all the ideal characteristics to elimanate any idioms or mis-interpreted sounds - Joan Kenley from the 90’s and 2000’s.

I remember maybe 8 years ago when Apple was unveiling a new iphone feature at their annual conference, and to demonstrate that feature Steve Jobs called a "fictitious" person that had the exact same name as I do.

It was kinda funny because people actual thought he was calling me.  He was not.

So my bank was bought out by an out of state bank. 

When I tried to reorder checks this morning, my designer check options no longer included U of M, but wouldn't you know that OSU, FSU,, Nebraska, Clemson and half the SEC were available.

I hate the whims of commerce..
