My Conversation with Gas Company

Gas Company: "That service call will cost you one bajillion dollars."
Crabby: "No it won't, we have a service contract with you."
GC: "No you don't."
C: "Yes we do."
GC: "No you don't."
C: "Yes we do."
GC: "You cancelled it in writing six years ago."
C: "No we didn't."
GC: "Yes you did."
C: "We didn't live here six years ago."
GC: "Yes you did."
C: "No we didn't."
GC: "Is this Mrs. Henderson speaking?"
C: "No. It's Mrs. Crabby."

Pause.

GC: "Oh. Sorry. Our records must be wrong."
C: "It would appear so. When can you come fix my furnace?"
GC: "That service call will cost you one bajillion dollars."
C: "No it won't, we have a service contract with you."
GC: "No you don't."
C: "Yes we do."

Pause.

GC: "Oh. I see it now."

The National Post must have interviewed that guy for their feature story today, "Dumb is the new smart."
