Have you heard Peggy?

There is a funny advertisement on television involving a character called Peggy. A man calls a phone number probably for a credit card or insurance question or on line buying help or...... This poor sap calls the number and gets "Peggy." He asks a series of questions starting with her/his name and gets, "Peggy," who is really a big guy with a fake voice. All subsequent questions get the answer, "Yeeeeees." The yes is dragged out, and you see "Peggy" giving a sweet/sappy grin while answering, "Yeeeeees." It is absolutely hysterical, and every time I see it I can not help myself and laugh again and again.

It brings to mind calling to get help with a computer problem and getting a person with such a thick accent in some country in Asia that you finally hang up and have no idea why you even called. In the advertisement mentioned above the caller finally asks Peggy not to hang up and of course she/he answers, "Yeeeeeees" and then hangs up sweetly. I hope you get to see the ad and enjoy it as much as we have. "Yeeeeees!" Happy travels.
