You Pick Your IDIOT FOR NOMINATION?

THIS ARE ALL TRUE FACTS NOT A STORY FROM 2005-2007.

#1. IDIOT OF 2006
A true story out of San Francisco : A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America , walked into the branch and wrote “this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag” While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller’s window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo . After waiting a Few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller.
She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn’t the brightest light in the street told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, “OK” and left. He was Arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America .
Don’t bother with this guy’s award. He probably couldn’t read it anyway.
#2. IDIOT OF 2005
The next nomination goes to a pair of profoundly idiotic criminals from Wisconsin who clearly didn’t watch enough cartoons growing up. The dynamic duo attempted to steal gasoline from a lawnmower late last summer, but were having trouble manipulating the siphon inside the dark shed. So they decided to illuminate their crime scene with a match. As anyone who’s watched “Tom and Jerry” might have predicted, the open flame ignited the gasoline fumes, resulting in severe burns, an incinerated shed — and two very worthy nominations for Idiot of the Year.
#3. IDIOT OF 2007
Next is Kevin Colvin, an intern at the Anglo Irish Bank of North America. Colvin e-mailed his manager on the afternoon of Oct. 31, claiming “something came up at home” in New York and that he needed to miss work the next day. For whatever reason, perhaps managerial intuition, his boss decided to inspect Colvin’s Facebook page on Nov. 1 and apparently found pictures of the intern dressed as a fairy, beer in hand, at a Halloween party in Massachusetts. Rather than reprimand him, the manager decided to have a little fun. He shot Colvin an e-mail back stating: “Thanks for letting us know — hope everything is ok in New York. (cool wand)” with the fairy picture attached. And if that weren’t embarrassing enough, the manager reportedly BCCed the rest of the company.
#4. IDIOT OF 2006
Jonathan Maybery, of Swansea, Wales, started 2007 with a bang — or rather a staple. After a night of boozing and watching “Jackass,” the 24-year-old caretaker for the elderly thought it would be a brilliant idea to staple his hand to a coffee table. According to reports, he and a friend lined up the hand and, yes, stapled-gunned it — though apparently he was “too busy laughing to feel any pain.” Paramedics arrived shortly thereafter, but they were unable to separate him from the table. Instead, they took him to the hospital by ambulance “with the piece of furniture still attached to his hand.”
#5. IDIOT OF 2006
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control centre. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away.
Here’s your award, lady. Wear it with pride.

how can i pick up a british english accent?

I live in the Uk, but I’m originally from the Middle East. I work in a call center and it seems that some customers struggle to understand me. I’m looking for any audio cds or software that are specefically designed to reduce and even eliminate foreign accents. Any ideas? I can use any other helpful hints you may think of. Cheers !

Is a offshore call center the same as a messaging center,where you pick up your messages?
