Bahing sheep having issues...
A comedy conversation

The 'bah'ing sheep that I bought for my co-worker is sounding a bit ill now. She sounds like every 'bah' is her last, so of course I wrote to customer service and asked what the problem was. I phrased it as stuffy as I could to ensure they would write back (which they did)and now I have a line of communication open. I want to see just how long I can keep getting responses back and would love some suggestions for my next reply to them. Remember I want to slowly add in the craziness a little at a time so they have no idea it is happening.
Me to Ganz.com:
To Whom it May Concern,
On June 4th 2003 I purchased the H5428 Barnyard Babbler. Over time and with
repeated use we have heard a discernible and significant
decrease in the quality and enjoyablitiy of the 'bahs'. Is this condition to be expected in the H5428 Babbler?
I thank you in advance for your timely response.
The reply:
Thank you for your email. You should be able to get at least 1000 squeezes
out of each of the barnyard items. Please return the item back to the store
where it was purchased from for a refund or replacement. Unfortunately, I am
not at liberty to send out a replacement item.
Sincerely,
Leeann Jeffries

Now I am thinking what is their definition of a sqeeze and should I ask if indiscrete holes might have anything to with the sound issue? I need some gabber help.....

1000 squeezes? Is that all?
Personally, I'd expect at least 5 - 10 thousand squeezes from a toy of such calibre.
You should also ask exactly what constitutes as a 'squeeze'. Are we talking the gentle crush in a young child's hands, or some sick bastard trying to insert a barnyard babbler into his ass?

Dear Leeann Jeffries,
Thank you for your sincere reply concerning my Barnyard Babbler's lack of Bahs. While I understand your company policy on squeezes, I don't believe that I have reached that amount - and quite frankly - the inconvenience of taking "Marty" (I named him Marty, because I really didn't like the name he came with) to the store is really an inconvenience. Is there any way you can override this policy and send me a replacement sheep? Also, do they come with adjustable wool length? "Marty" is a bit hairier then I prefer.
Thanks ever so much for your help.
Regards,
MonkeyfunSheepFroster

These people are pretty Frost-ing speedy in their replies!
We are only licensed to sell to retailers and do not send out replacements
to consumers. Here is a store in your area that has purchased the barnyard
animals, please feel free to call them to see if they have one that you can
purchase. Also, the hair on the items are the same length and there is no
option to have it shorter.
Sincerely,
Leeann Jeffries

Tell them the hair length really bothers you and you want a gift certificate to the nearest wool farm to have him "shorn"

Guess you just have to shave it, that might get rid of some of those unsightly semen and poo stains on it too.

Tell them you gave the animal a haircut, and it was too short, so you added some water (ala Chia Pet <sp>, and now the sheep is a micropet.

Dear Leeann Jeffries,
I appreciate your prompt reply to my request for a replacement sheep due to defective Bah. I thought you said I could get a replacement for my defective barnyard buddy? Let me make sure I understand you correctly, because Marty has ceased to sound like a healthy sheep I have to actually purchase one?
I'm seriously thinking of pimping Marty out since he's so popular with the women in my office. If I do this, can I therefore be considered a retailer, and get a few more your Barnyard Buddies?
Also, sometimes Marty and I like to do role playing. Do you have any cute little outfits he can wear?
Thanks in advance,
MonkeyFunSheepLicker

trae I altered your note a bit...before I send it though I just want to make sure it is good enough to have some of your phrasing mixed in with a n00bs.....
Dear Leeann Jeffries,
I appreciate your prompt reply to my request for a replacement sheep due to defective Bah. Let me make sure I understand you correctly, because Marty has ceased to sound like a healthy sheep I have to actually return to the mall? The store you listed is indeed the store where I bought Marty and they were not very nice people there. The cashier tried to talk me into purchasing a cow instead of Marty. Now what would I do with a mooing cow? Is it possible Marty is sufferring from a post-traumatic stress disorder having had to be in that type of atmosphere where cows are regarded more highly than him?
I'm seriously thinking of selling time with Marty to my co-workers since he's so popular with the people in my office. If I do this, can I therefore be considered a retailer, and get a few more your Barnyard Buddies? (Preferably all sheep)
Also, sometimes Marty and I like to do role playing. Do you have any cute little outfits he can wear? Possibly a cow outfit?
Thanks in advance,

Leeanne is a trooper I tell you. I don't think she even got an eye-twitch from that last email. Here is her reply:
I'm sorry but yes, that is true. You will need to take it back to the store.
Also, they do not come with outfits.
We only sell to retailers. We are not licensed to sell to the general
public.

And the reply note sent just now...
(it amazes me that I get any work done)
Leeanne
I thought that by selling time with Marty I would qualify as a retailer. I assume from your reply that that is not the case, is there a form I must fill out to be considered a retailer instead of a consumer? What is with all the labeling anyhow? Retailer, consumer...My mom always told me to 'Dare to be different' How can I listen to my mom yet at the same time fill out this form to belabeled as a retailer?
All that really matters is that Marty is ill and needs attention, we currently have him on a liquid diet and resting comfortably. My co-workers and I have discussed taking the matter into our own hands and coming to Marty's rescue. Do you carry a Barnyards Babblers Anatomy book that we could use to perform surgery? I would hate to be in there and cut the wrong thing. We are aware of the sound devicethat is in him as that is the part that is most often squeezed to achieve the desired 'Bah' (which is in case you don't remember-is failing) Now the question is will this device come out easily? And once we have it what do we need to fix it, would we use a heart shocker to recharge it or just hook it up to some jumper cables out in the parking lot?
Now once we have opened him up and fixed him (we are remaining optimistic that we will succeed) would you suggest a zipper, buttons or just sew him up?
I await your speedy reply for as even as I wrote this letter Marty has slipped into a coma. One more thing, there are definately no outfits?

MonkeyFun, please inform the stupidly names Leeanne that if there isn't the shiniest, newest loudest bah'ing barnyard babbler on your doorstep by monday morning, there's going to have one hell of an angry, dairy product coated stoat causing all kinds of disgusting mess in their shiny new office.
Yours,

I strongly believe that Leeanne will not be replying to me this time....which is a pity.
Although Marty (we have decided that Trae picked an excellent name)is actually sounded pretty damn bad at this point. His 'bah' now sounds more like a long, low drawn out death rattle from a prepubescent goose.
Why the Frost don't they make things to last anymore?

Leeanne has decided to not reply...I am kinda sad about that. She seemed like she would be a good sport. I think I may send her a sincere apology note...and of course sign off asking about the outfits again..maybe I'll ask if she has a sheep outfit she could wear and just let all my coworkers make her 'bah' instead of Marty? Oh the possibilities...
