Bob and I were just sitting in the living room today, watching TV, when suddenly I smelt gas. Normally, in our household, this would be no cause for alarm. However, this gaseous smell was rather distinctive and not in the Bob! kind of way. So we called up the gas company just to make sure what we should do in this kind of situation and they semi alarmed us by saying that someone would be over momentarily and not to leave. Now, what does momentarily mean to you? We assumed that someone would be RUSHING to our home to save us from the noxious fumes. As it turns out, what they meant was that someone would work their way over eventually, but in the meantime just to live with it. I guess if we blew up in that meantime, so be it. So after waiting for about forty five minutes we called the gas company back up and they said that "momentarily" could mean up to an hour and a half. Seriously? Seriously. What if it was an emergency? So, eventually a guy came and checked it out and all was well. Apparently there had been several calls in our neighborhood, so they are guessing they added too much smelly chemical to our gas line (you know, in order to make the gas smell bad). Well, it beats blowing up.
