Call Waiting


       I called a telemarketer yesterday because the advertising  sent me was so error filled and fear driven that  someone had to respond. They were selling extra vehicle insurance and part of their ploy was telling me that mine either had expired or was about to expire within a week. 
       We had a very long conversation (at one point, he said  we had already been on the phone 55 minutes). I didn't dispute that, but he really didn't realize that we weren't quite finished for we hadn't talked about daylight saving time yet.
        Daylight savings time was on my mind. My barber told me the worse thing about it was that he had to get up at 2:00 am to change the clocks. Some are more serious than others about these matters. Anyway, after we finished the daylight talk and I terminated the call, one more thing occurred to me. If daylight could be saved, the savers wouldn't be here to collect it, and that is the worst investment of all.
