Me: I’d like a 6-inch ham and swiss sub on wheat please.
Sandwich ‘Artist’: I’m sorry but we are all out of 6-inch bread. Would you like a footlong instead?
WIDTS: I got a footlong in my pants. Why don’t you just cut the footlong bread in half and make it a 6-inch? Did you fail your math class?

I see here on your website and several others that the UWS Wire-Free FlushMount Intercoms have been discontinued. Did they stop making them?

Me: Thank you for calling D.A. Industries. How Can I Help You?
Caller: {In a proper British accent}It’s good manners to say “Good Morning” when someone says it to you, you know.

Thank you for calling Dr. Smith’s office. How can we help you?
Caller: I have a question about why the Department of Disability scheduled me for an appointment with you and one with Dr. Jones at the same time.
Me: Great. Since we are a mental health practice, I’m going to guess that you called them using 2 of your personalities and the Department of Disability was unaware of the names of your personalities. So they unwittingly scheduled the same person for 2 appointments under 2 different names at the same time. Or better than my speculation, why don’t you call THEM?
