Insert M.C. Hammer Joke Here

As a less-than-satisfied Comcast subsriber myself, I love this story in the Washington Post today about a 75-year-old woman who took out her frustration the old fashioned way: with a hammer.

So, after stewing over it all weekend, on the following Monday, she went downstairs, got Don's claw hammer and said: "C'mon, honey, we're going to Comcast."

Did you try to stop her, Mr. Shaw?

"Oh no, no," he says.

Shaw storms in the company's office. BAM! She whacks the keyboard of the customer service rep. BAM! Down goes the monitor. BAM! She totals the telephone. People scatter, scream, cops show up and what does she do? POW! A parting shot to the phone!

"They cuffed me right then," she says.

I imagine the $345 fine was well-worth the satisfaction.
