Tech Support: “ISP tech support, how may I help you?”
Customer: “Yes I was wondering if you could help me?”
Tech Support: “Well I can certainly try.”
Customer: “Do you know those 55 gallon drums that they hold oil in?”
Tech Support: (blink) “Yes…I believe so.”
Customer: “The ones that they have for trash cans at some places, but they originally have oil in them?”
Tech Support: “Ok, sir, I know what you are talking about.”
Customer: “Well I was wondering if you could tell me why they chose that number?”
Tech Support: “What number, sir?”
Customer: “55.”
Tech Support: “Sir, this is technical support for the Internet.”
Customer: “Yes, I know.”
Tech Support: “I am sorry sir, I guess I am just confused on how you think that I can help you.”
Customer: “Well can you look it up and maybe put it on your web page?”
Tech Support: “No sir, I really couldn’t. I don’t have that type of time on my hands, nor would my system administrator allow me to put that sort of information up on our company web site.”
Customer: “Ohh, ok.”
Tech Support: “Have you tried searching the Internet yourself?”
Customer: “Yes. I am not very good at that sort of thing.”
Tech Support: “I am sorry, sir — there is nothing that I can do from here.”
Customer: “Well, if you happen to come across it could you let me know?”
Tech Support: “Yeah, uh-huh, ok. If I find that I will let you know. Have a good day.”
