Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.

this has really inspired me. I am going to have more fun with my telemarketers from now on - none of this “thank you but i absolutely do not need this item/service”. Do i start crying because “thank you for calling me - i just need someone to talk to . . . i’m so lonely since my boyfriend left me - no one understands - they don’t believe in gay love, what do you think”?
or angry “it’s about time someone from your organisation called me - i’m about to come down there - ever since ‘made-up-name’ knocked up my daughter i’ve been itching to come down there myself and deal with that ‘expletive’ - where are you?!?”
how about manic “this is so awesome that you called -there is this great cartoon on and i just have to tell you all about it - you see peter - he’s the fat guy on family guy - and . . . etc.”
I guess i could always just lead them down the 15 minute road and at the last minute make up some very arbitrary reason to not purchase . . . . -
If you look to the right of this video you will find another video where he pretends to be suicidal … if you find it watch it it is funny!

When my son first got interested in the telephone I would hand off telemarketers to him. Nothing beter than a four year old discussing going potty with a salesman on the phone.
“Is your mommy or daddy there?”
“I went potty all by myself”
“That’s great! Is your mommy or daddy there?”
“Ahah, I made a jobbie, that’s a number two!”

This is old. I saw it a year ago or so. But either way it is still good.
