Hi, this is Debbie at the utility company. We're calling about our Budget Gas Plan, where we can lock in your future gas rates at today's price, before they rise next winter.
I see. And how does that work?
Over the next seven minutes:
Well, since utility rates tend to rise ... blah blah ... deregulation ... blah blah ... charge current gas price in the future.
I see. And since you're at the Electric Company, you know I have electric heating, right?
Oh. Thanks for your time.
Damn. Why can't I ever get a call from Boardwalk or the B&O Railroad?
