Caller: “I’m finding out that hamsters like to move around a lot. Do you have a pet that doesn’t move as much?”
Me: “What seems to be the problem with the hamsters?”
Caller: “Well, I don’t like it when they move suddenly. It scares me. And I don’t like their rears.”
Me: “Their…rears?”
Customer: “Yes, their rears! I don’t like it when they don’t face me. Do you have a pet that doesn’t move as much?”
Me: “Well, we have tarantulas… they mostly just sit there and move slowly and rarely.”
Caller: “What’s a tarantula?”
Me: “It’s kind of a big hairy spider.”
(Suddenly, it sounds as if the phone has hit the ground. A few moments later…)
Customer: “I think I’ll stick with hamsters.”
