I No Oondertunding Oo

Plotnik is trying to put together a photo album for his Mom, from the pictures taken at her birthday party. But Kodak Gallery has become an absolute joke. It used to be easy to use, now it's in a Beta Program for new software and Plotnik is on the Help Line for the second time. "Hello, welcome to Kodak Gallery! Your call is important to us, so we'll continue to play this insipid new age jazz until your soul flows freely from your nose."

Plot and Duck are heading to Stiletto City for a short weekend and Plot had hoped to have the book done. Does anyone know of another company who can upload photos and produce custom photo albums? Snapfish does not seem to do it. Walgreen's doesn't.

"Hello! Welcome to Kodak Gallery! Your call is VERY important to us. Please continue to hold while we torment you with not only the same song but the same passage from the same song. Occasionally we will break onto the line with someone who learned his English in a madrassa in a small village under a mountain."

"Hello! This is Kodak Gallery! We are experiencing longer than usual wait times. If you think we're kidding, just hold on."

"Hello! This is Kodak Gallery! If you wish faster service, please hack off your finger with an ax. All calls are answered first from states who voted red and then from Guam. If we have no calls from Guam we wait for calls from Guam."

(sound of crackling wires)

"Hi. Tanks fo weeting. My name she, uh, Ed. Yah, Ed. How koon ee hold-ping oo? I sorry I no oondertunding oo. I sorry. I steel no oondertunding oo. Harro? Harro?

(More crackling wires. Soft jazz returns.)

Are you driving or flying? I'm guessing if you fly, you'll be heading into Burbank. If you're going to LAX, let me know! I'm flying out of LAX tomorrow night to go up north for Rosh Hashanah! Maybe we'll cross paths? :)

This cracked me up - very good! I don't know if it would do what you want, but if you drink fairly deeply of the Mac Koolaid, iPhoto has pretty good book printing services.

And you are going to be in LA while the Giants are there??? Going to a game? "East L A! East L A!"

Your soul flows through you nose, very funny. Did you try Costco for
the photos? VERY fast and good and cheap...

It's very funny that you insist on calling tech support. I suspect you do it just to get new material.
