Dialects
Today I had to call around and try to collect information on various construction projects. At one organization, I asked for the facilities department and after some confusion on the part of the receptionist, I was transferred.
The man who answered said “Plant Maintenance.” I said, “Hi, I’m calling to get some information about your upcoming expansion project,” and he said, “Aww, girl, I don’t know nothing 'bout that, and the boss-man isn’t here.”
I swear to God, that is a verbatim reproduction of what he said. It's not quite as good without the dialect, but you'll just have to imagine. It’s such fun to call other parts of the country. It kind of made my day. Thank you, Ohio!
