Irish Conversation in the American Midwest #26
Transmission
-Hi, I’m with XYZ Transmissions and I’m just making a courtesy visit
-That’s very courteous of you
-Well, XYZ Transmissions are in the neighborhood, and I just wanted to let you know that we do much more than transmissions
-Have you thought of changing your name?
-Well, XYZ Transmissions can give you a whole year’s worth of services, that’s a five hundred dollar value, for just fifty-nine ninety-five
-Em…
-And if you look here you can see you can get oil changes
-Em…
-And we can change your filter for you
-Let me just stop you before you go any further
-Okay?
-You see that car?
-Yes
-That hasn’t been driven in over two years
-Oh
-Yes. And it’s not going to be driven again. Not by me.
-Oh
-You see that bicycle behind you?
-Uh huh
-It doesn’t need a new transmission
-Do you have any other cars?
