My ever-patient SO took care of some telephonic business for me today. Without lying and adding stupid things for dramatic effect, this is how the conversation went.
My Ever-Patient SO: I would like to change some things in Mr. Oulsham's account.
Person Of Questionable Intelligence On Other End Of Phone: I can't do that without his authorization. Do you have his credit card number?
MEPSO: No, but I have his Social Security number.
POQIOOEOP: That's no good. I have to have his authorization to change the account. Can you call him and get his authorization and then call me back?
MEPSO: (Stifling a laugh): That's all I have to do? He asked me this morning to change the account for him before he left for work.
POQIOOEOP: Oh, he already gave you his authorization? Fine then, how can I help you?
I'm beginning to wonder if without stupid people there would be no people, except of course for you and I and MEPSO.
