A Quote by W. C. Fields

It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to. — © W. C. Fields
It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.

There ain't no answer. There ain't gonna be any answer. There never has been an answer. That's the answer.
I'm old, I'm used to crummy service, I'm trained to get crummy service. To me, the fact I can get through to a call centre and then hold for 15 minutes, I don't get that upset. My kids won't.
