An Indian Bummer

(I work at a place called “The Indianhead [Business]” and take calls from customers.)

Caller: “Hello, is this the Indianhead [Business]?”

Me: “Yes, that is correct. How may I help you?”

Caller: “I’d like to speak to some Indians there.”

Me: “Um… We don’t have any actual Indians here at the Indianhead [Business].”

Caller: “Oh, so, they were all killed?”

Me: “I…” *I’m hoping that I just misheard him because of our old phone* “Uh, could you say that again for me, please?”

Caller: “You know, the great massacre of Indians in Wisconsin. You’re telling me that they’ve all been killed off.”

Me: “It’s true we’re named the Indianhead [Business], but we have no affiliation with Indians.”

Caller: “Thanks, I didn’t know the situation was that bad.”
