Hil-arious!!!!

I have a hilarious story to share about my dear husband (yes, again)!

Well, let me start off my telling you that Ray and I switched cell phone providers – from Cingular to Verizon. By the way, we will be notifying everyone of our phone number changes very soon. With this special Ray found online, we purchased a Razor (what Ray had with Cingular) and got an LG flip phone free. Since Ray has had a Razor, I told him to take the new Razor. I told him I’d take the LG. It couldn’t be that bad. It looks like my old Motorola, is a flip phone, is a camera phone, etc. The first day we took our phones out, Ray called me on the way to work to test them out. He talked about how great I sounded, that the reception was so great, etc. But I could barely hear him! It was so frustrating! I kept saying “HUH?!” He got frustrated with me because he thought I just wanted to complain. He said what I thought previously, “How bad can it really be?” I was so mad that I basically quit talking to him because hearing his response was only a wish. He kept probing me about what is wrong with the phone. I said, “Ray, it is a piece of crap! It is so lightweight, and I just hate it!!!! I can’t even hear you!!! It is a cheap piece of shit!!!” I don’t know what he said after that because I couldn’t hear him (and it is probably better that way because I’m sure his response was not a lovie dovie one)!! We stayed on the phone another minute or so and then I heard this shrill microwave beeping noise! I told him I refused to talk on that phone anymore. He hung up and called me back on my old Cingular cell phone. Then, when we talked later on that day, Ray said, “Tish, I’ll take that phone. I won’t mind it. You take the Razor.” I argued at first but after a few seconds, I decided to stop. I took him up on his offer.

Last night, Ray and I went to Sam’s. He decided he wanted to test out that new LG phone then. I took the new Razor. He took the new LG phone, walked away, and called me. He was telling me how it sounded just fine. As a matter of fact, he told me I sounded great and tried to make me feel weird for saying the phone sucked. I thought that was the end of the story…and if it would’ve been, I would’ve been okay with that because I would’ve ended up with the Razor!

But today, when Ray was on his lunch break, Ray called me at work (on that new LG phone). First, I noticed that he was slow to respond to what I was saying. Then, I noticed frustration in his voice when he did speak. Finally, he said, “I hate this damn phone! It is like holding Rachel’s (our friend’s daughter) toy phone up to my ear! I feel like I’ve been driving a Beemer and now I have a hooptie! And the only thing you want to do with a hooptie is drive it into a wall!!! I hate this ****ing phone! I’m going to throw this shit in the toilet!!!!”

Even though I was at work with other people within earshot, I cracked up – and I couldn’t stop!!! :) Now, Ray is considering trading it in, getting another Razor, and just paying the difference. When you get Ray’s new phone number, call him. If he can’t hear you, he still has his good ole LG. If you can hear him well, you know that he decided to get a cool Razor like his wife’s!!!!!!! ;)
