Someone Needs To Treat Warhorse

(I work at a call center that does outbound fundraising. One of our clients is the Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of Minnesota.)

Me: “Hello, this is [My Name], calling for the ‘Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of Minnesota’. Thanks for taking my call!”

Woman: “Wait, wait, did you say veterans?”

Me: “Yes, I was calling because—”

Woman: “I don’t need a veteran. I don’t even have any animals!”

(I can give her the benefit of the doubt for simply mixing up the words “veterans” and “veterinarians.” But I have to wonder what she would have thought a veterinarian of foreign wars would be!)
