Me: “Thank you for calling [satellite TV company]. How may I help you?”
Caller: “I’ve bought some used equipment. I need to turn it on.”
Me: “Yes, sir. Could I have the serial number?”
(The serial number brings up an account in collections for over $800.)

Caller: “No.”
Me: “Why not?”
Caller: “He’s in jail in Mexico.”
