Clive sez:
I was supposed to fly to San Francisco on Jetblue this morning, but the northeast blizzard has grounded all flights. So I'm on the phone to Jetblue trying frantically to get rebooked — when I discover they have the finest "hold" message on the planet. Here's my transcription of it:
"You know, everyone seems to think being on hold is a bad thing. Let's re-examine this, shall we? Don't look at it as being on hold. Look at it as being held! Because we all like to be held — don't we?
"For example, when you're sitting in front of a fire with someone special, being held is very comforting. Or when you're upset about something, being held can make you feel a whole lot better. Or when walking in the park with our significant other, we like our hands to be held. Or even coming home from school and having your books held.
"You see? It's not all that bad. So remember. Don't look on it as being on hold. Look on it as being held!"
(Thanks, Clive!)
