this guy talking to me had to have the day and time just right before he could advance the tale:

"Then this last Thursday...... no, Wednesday..... wait... it was Thursday morning at 10, maybe 9...... OH but On Tuesday.... I think it was Tuesday night.... no, late afternoon... before Thursday morning... we ... yada yada yada".

Also same situation as you... the guy was extremely nice. Very cordial. I liked him.... I just would have liked him better if I could have shoved a rag in his mouth. - JamesJM
