Outsourcing
We've all talked to this guy...At Last....A Picture of Him.
Mujibar was trying to get a job in India .
The Personnel Manager said,
'Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one.
Unless you pass it,you cannot qualify for this job.'
Mujibar said, 'I am ready.'
The manager said,
'Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink,and Green .'
Mujibar said,
'The telephone goes green, green,
And I pink it up, and say,
Yellow, this is Mujibar.'
Mujibar now works at a call centre.
.
No doubt you have spoken to him.
I know I have.

Re: Outsourcing
well I though this was pretty funny but I now see that not one of the 33 corfiddlers who have apparently looked at it so far thought it worthy of comment. not even a troll or robot so I thought I would reply myself
Thinks talking to oneself is regarded as the first signs of what??
Recapping I had received the photo of Mujibar in an email and as the original's location was obscure I had saved it and uploaded it to my own website for posterity.
I should have done a google image search for "Mujibar" I just did and that same picture is on literally dozens of websites
However the very first result is this antipodean varietal:-
amongst those that feature the Mujibar graphic are

Help Needed With Ebay
28 September
Help .. Does anyone know how to cancel a bid on eBay?
Yesterday I put in a bid for a "Cowboy Outfit" and now it seems I’m only six minutes away from owning the Queensland Government
and
http://www.datehookup.com/Thread-278768.htm
where you can read
For centuries, Hindu women have worn a Red Dot on the middle of their foreheads. Most of us have naively thought this was connected with tradition or religion, but the Indian embassy in Ottawa has recently revealed the true story.
When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union. On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the dot to see whether he has won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop, a taxi cab, or a motel in the United States. If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones and provide us with technical advice.
also on that page just below Mujibar are these profound thoughts
"YOU MAY BE A TALIBAN IF...."
** *1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to beer.
** *2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can't afford shoes.
** *3. You have more wives than teeth.
** *4. You wipe your butt with your bare left hand, but consider bacon "unclean."
** *5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.
** *6. You can't think of anyone you haven't declared Jihad against.
** *7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.
** *8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.
** *9. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least two.
** *10. You've always had a crush on your neighbor's goat.
Mujibar is also featured on Allison's blog journal:-
http://allisonsjournal.wordpress.com/
scroll down just below Mujibar is a splendid series of cat pictures
including
"I kept losing things."
I also found some lavatory humUr:-
"Anger Management
Husband: "When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you
control your anger?"
Wife: "I clean the toilet."
Husband: "How does that help?"
Wife: "I use your toothbrush ."
John
Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can’t eat it or play with it,
just pee on it and walk away.

Re: Outsourcing
Sir John:
I use a Mac -- does Mujibar handle their tech support as well?
All kidding aside, I found it to be very funny but was worried that saying so might offend some GL fan in Bombay.
P.C. run amok!

Re: Outsourcing
I get a giggle out of the "Peggy" commercials for Discover:
If this was Mastercard, I'd say "priceless!"

Re: Outsourcing
Very funny!
I'm wondering if anybody has ever heard GL used as "hold music" while waiting for the "next available representative." I would be much more inclined to wait than when I hear the recorded message tell me 30 times how important my call is to them and thanks for my patience.

Re: Outsourcing
My mum & I have both run across more than our fair share of the "Mujibar" & "Peggy" types and have often wanted to get our hands on the company executives & smack them on the back of their beany little heads for outsourcing telemarketing jobs. Telemarketing calls are, in general, very annoying when they use Americans to place the calls, but when they use foreiners to do the job, apparently not caring that the caller barely understands or speaks English, the frustration factor goes sky high, not with the caller but with the company that uses such sales methods. More than once we've hung up on such calls, vowing never to use their product if we can avoid it.
