Popping and locking

There are few things in life that are guaranteed. Most things are a risk. What a dangerous life we lead.

I’ll tell you what is not guaranteed:

1. The blue Gatorade in the vending machine (they are almost always out! You really have to camp next to a machine and wait for it to be refilled. My suggestion is to bring snacks, a flash light and a sleeping bag).
2. When drinking out of a can, you could be drinking rat droppings or dust (it’s a coin toss every time).
3. That there is toilet paper in a public stall (you know what I’m talking about! That unpleasant experience having to ask the person in the stall next to you, calling out to anyone in the bathroom or having to become really creative).

What is a guarantee:

1. You will die.
2. Frodo does eventually destroy the ring.
3. I will be dancing to the pop-a-lock hold music.

When I call pop-a-lock, I hope and come close to begging to be placed on hold. If you’ve never heard their hold music, you’ve never lived! Bucket list it for sure. It will revitalize your day, change your life and make you into a totally new person.

I’ve heard on many occasions that pop-a-lock hold music sounds like a black church choir and I must admit, with the loud piano and intense voices, it’s not far from the truth.

I can be having the worst day. Customers calling like crazies; call volume higher than the Chrysler building and machines acting out their rebellion… it ant no walk in the park (and I mean the pleasant walks, not the ones where it’s late at night and you think someone is following you so you keep turning around and seeing shadows and your walk becomes more into a run). So pop-a-lock is a godsend. They’ll put me on hold and I’ll start dancing, rolling up and down and like the song says “thanking heaven for pop-a-lock… you’ve called pop-a-lock,” I really am thanking heaven.

So next time you see me dancing like Stevie Wonder, know it’s not because I’m crazy (actually, maybe it is) it’s because of pop-a-lock.
