His Common Sense Blew Away Ages Ago
Me: “Good morning, you are speaking with [Housing Company], [My Name] speaking. How can I help you?”
Client: “Yes, I am calling you because the window in my roof is missing.”
Me: *pause* “Missing?”
Client: “Yes, last night I went to bed and the window was still there, but now it’s gone.”
Me: “All right, a missing window… Did you see it on the roof or ground?”
Client: “No, it’s gone. Now what do I do?”
Me: “Well, since you now have a big hole in your roof, I’ll send a mechanic to close the hole and then we’ll have to order a new window.”
Client: “Could it have blown away? I mean, it was kind of windy last night.”
Me: “Sir, there was a storm last night. Was your window open?”
Client: “Yes, I thought it was a great way to get some fresh air in the house.”
Me: “Right… I think I know what happened to your window, sir.”
Client: “Really?”
(He received a bill for this stupidity.)
