How To Elevate Your Confusion
I work for the chamber of commerce in Idyllwild, California. I get a call from a woman.
Caller: “What is the elevation there in Idyllwild?”

Caller: “Oh. Okay. Well, what is the elevation in the summertime?”
Me: “Uh… the elevation is the same all year round, ma’am.”
Caller: “How do you know?”
Me: “Because our analysis showed that switching to daylight saving time instead was more cost-effective.”
Caller: “Oh, okay, thank you.”
Me: “You’re very welcome.”
She hung up. I thunked my head on the desk, laughing.
