A Persistent Stream
(I get a call from my Internet provider with yet another promotional offer.)
Caller: “We’d like to offer you six months free cable if you sign up now!”
Me: “Thanks, but I don’t own a TV. I stream everything I need online.”
Caller: “Yes, but this is for a free six months!”
Me: “No, I don’t think you understand. I don’t own a TV at all. Does your promo include a free TV? Because if not your offer really doesn’t do me any good. ”
Caller: “Well… no.”
Me: *chuckle* “Ok, then.”
Caller: “But! So… um, do you plan on getting a TV?”
Me: *face-palm*
(At least no one could say he wasn’t persistent!)
