That Reminds Me of the Time...

Did you hear the about the friend of mine who was rather destitute and awash in debt following a prolonged illness?

I bet you haven't.

So, this friend does the right thing and talks to his creditors and signs up for welfare and goes job hunting. He even joins some local employment programs (you know the kind of thing - government-sponsored irrelevance on a stick).

Which is how, a week later, he found himself being given a job as a contact centre operative by one of his creditors, and was thus put in the unusual position of having to phone himself up to chase a debt.

No kidding.
