When Age Equals I.Q.

(Our car insurance policies include an extension that lets customers drive other vehicles with minimum-level cover, but it’s only available to customers over 25.)

Me: “Good morning, how can I help?”

Customer: “Hi, I’ve got a policy with you. Will it let me drive other cars?”

Me: “It might. Could I ask your age, please?”

Customer: “I’m 23.”

Me: “I’m afraid not. You have to be 25 years old or over before we give you that extension.”

Customer: “Oh, okay. How do I get that, then?”

Me: “…you have to turn 25.”

Customer: “Oh! When will that be?”
