The Thought That Almost Made It to the Finish Line

[Dips]

Caller: I need tech support.

Me: No problem. Let me get your license number and I'll send you on to Carl.

Caller: [makes huge production out of finding the license number]. It's #####. You know, I'm calling long distance and I don't appreciate you guys making me look that up every time.

Let's list what she HAS figured out:

-Calling long distance costs money.

-Looking up my license number takes time.

-The company I am calling always asks for my license number.

And she came to this conclusion:

-Taking time to look up my license number while on a long distance call costs me money.

So far, so good. But then her solution was:

-So I'm going to take time on a long distance call which costs me money to complain about having to take time to look up my license number while on a long distance call which costs me money.

The leap of logic to come to the right answer is so miniscule and yet they fear it so.

Dang it.
There went the last of my functioning brain cells.
And I was saving those for later!

The leap of logic to come to the right answer is so miniscule and yet they fear it so.

I think that leap of logic got caught in a gust of wind which blew them off course--landing them deep in the pit of idiocy.
