Earlier today, I had to call a TV station in Rhode Island for information on a couple insurance applications they submitted. The woman I spoke to was very nice, joked about it being monday, and was pleasantly helpful.

After I got off the phone, all I could think was how she sounded like the stereotypical Jewish mother. She wasn't so bad, just the lightest accent and a forward way of phrasing. But, she made me think, "Oy, such questions for a Monday!"

Then again, she probably got off the phone and turned to the woman beside her (who I also heard through the phone, and sounded much the same) and said, "I just talked to a guy from Fargo, and he was all, 'Yah, I need dem dere salaries for some of yer employees, don'cha know!'"
