Stan Miller Dan

I had to call tech-support for my router last night, and the guy barely spoke English. It took a good five minutes for him to get my name, I spelled it at least ten times, but apparently he never really got it because this morning I got a customer service email from him addressed to stanmillerdan@planetdan.net. I just assumed he was cheap labor hired in a foreign country, but at one point while we were waiting for my computer to reboot, he told me a joke that I thought showed remarkable knowledge about American pop culture, so maybe I'm wrong. It went something like this:

Why does Snoop Doggy Dog always carry an umbrella?
Fo' Drizzle.

You are aware that the people that work in call centers in India are trained in American pop culture? aren't you? Now if they could only train them to speak better english. I thought that was a requirement.

I should be more kind, as he did solve my problems after an hour on the phone. And I did laugh at his bad joke. I think he said his name was Nuji.
