Can Make Your Head Swim

(At the call center I work at we get weird calls from people testing out the service all the time. Some include random trivia questions, about random subjects. We have to answer all questions seriously and try to get sources if we can.)

Me: “Thank you for contacting [Company] Concierge. How can I help you today?”

Customer: “Hi, I have a question.”

(At this point I see he is calling in from Texas.)

Me: “Certainly, I’ll do my best to answer any question you may have.”

Customer: “Well, this is a serious question. Are you sure?”

Me: “Anything at all. No need to be shy. What’s the question?”

Customer: “Well… um… can deer swim?”

Me: “Let me check for you, sir… Well, sir, I found a YouTube video of a deer swimming, and I’m watching it right now. So, yes. Deer can swim.”

Customer: “For real?”

Me: “Yes, sir, deer can swim.”

Customer: “I just don’t believe it. I need to see it myself. Can you send me a link to that video?”

Me: “Yes, sir. It will just take a second as I send that.”

Customer: *slightly muffled* “Honey, sounds like deer can swim. I know. I can’t believe it.”
