[GreenKeys] Experience on this list

[amourdutigre]

I second that thought as well, Jack. There is some numbskull down the block 
who has repeatedly tried to steal the cable TV signal from the cable, and 
always somehow seems to screw up the telephone circuits, which are about a 
foot and a half over the cable. When the "phone man" comes out to "check my 
line", they automatically tell me it is the phone wiring in my house. This 
last nincompoop was offended when I asked him to check the drop with his 
buttset, but when he did, lo and behold, he heard all sorts of crosstalk, 
and could not get a dial tone.

Sure 'nuff, the idiot down the street once again screwed up the junction 
block on the pole, and it effected the service four houses up.

And I have never had any experience being a "phone man".
