I had to call this older African American chick about a special order. When she came into the store she asked who it was that called her. I said it was me. She said "Mmm, you got a sexy voice. I wanted to call back and make you talk dirty to me. " We got a good laugh and on her way out she asked if I was as good as I sound, I said "Well, I'd have to say yea!"
