Have you heard the one where George Parker breaks his Kindle and Amazon replaced it for him free of charge?
If you've listen to the show for a while, you know that George has told this story on every program he's appeared on so far. Which is both a testimony to the advocacy power of good customer service and, to be honest, slightly annoying at this point. But a quick warning before the show began became fodder for endless jokes throughout the episode. Take a drink for every time the Amazon Kindle is mentioned during this program. Then call a cab. Cause you won't be walking home.
And since you're drunk, add me to your Twitter profile for all the latest BeanCast news, as well as my random witticisms. I'm TheBeanCast. As always, thanks for listening and please add a positive review to iTunes if you like the show.
