Default Siren Call

I just had this 1 hr phone call with a woman in Spain. It was business, very geeky stuff.. the thing is, as soon as words started coming out of her mouth I just wanted to buy whatever she was selling!

Don't get me wrong, the conversation was all business. No personal info apart from the necessary (name, co , email address). There was nothing ero/sexual about it. But her accent won me over in a nanosecond...

Now I have to decide if her accent was worth the EU$1500 and place an order... err.. I mean : decide if the purchase is a go based on all relevant technical factors

Does the purchase include a photo/video? or lodgings if you ever visit Spain?

Perhaps Cashout is writing a modern take on the Odyssey?

Now he has to hunt down some god's sacred cattle?

Nah... don't wanna know what she looks like.... I watched a doco a few years back about phone sex operators... some of the higher earners were pretty darn ugly.

However, I had a similar experience about 7 years ago with another sales rep from Chicago and she looked as good as she sounded. We used to buy tons of HW from her company so they used to send us a care package every xmas (Tshirts, mugs, etc) and it always came with a "From your rep xxxx" card with her pic on it.

As far as writing goes I do better at HW reviews or fact based fantasy video game stories, like this one I did for GT4 when it came out - My handle was Mr.Slow-
