Cable Guy: "Cadle Mobem?"
Me: "Cable Modem."
Cable Guy: "We don't have that."
Thinking his reply was a bit too quick, I asked him to go and check with his supervisor as to whether the service was available. He put me on hold. No less than ten minutes later, he came back.

Cable Guy: "Did you say Cadle Mobem?"
Me: "Cable. Modem."
Cable Guy: "Hold on."

Five more minutes on hold.

Cable Guy: "Is that like email?"
Me: "Yeah. Kinda like email."
Cable Guy: "We don't have that."

I gave up and found through other sources that, indeed, it was not available in my area. Now that I have one, though, I can't help but call it a "Cadle Mobem."
