Me: “Hi, what can I do for you?”

Customer: “I have this group photo. Can you scan it and cut people out?”

Me: “Um, it doesn’t work like that.”

Customer: “Why not? He’s standing right there! If you take these people away, you can see all of him!”

Me: “If I remove these people from the photo, all that will be left is nothing. Photos are two dimensional, not three dimensional.”

Customer: “That’s not true! I’ve seen ’em do it on CSI!”
