Extramarital Appliances
Customer: “Could you show me how to use my phone?”
Me: “Um… sure. What can I help you with?”
Customer: “Well, I’ve been told these new phones come with voice control features. Is that true?”
Me: “Yes, sir, just hold the home button to activate the voice control feature.”
Customer: “That’s it? That’s so easy!” *customer picks up the phone* “Call… my wife.”
(Nothing happens.)
Customer: “Why isn’t it calling my wife?”
Me: “Do you have her listed in your phone book as your wife?”
Customer: “No.”
Me: “Yeah. I’m pretty sure the phone isn’t going to know who you’re married to.”
