A co-worker was working with me one day and one of our VP's called him up.
"Troy, you need to contact this customer, it has gotten up to the VP Cusotmer Relations team".
Troy Asked, "Anny idea what we are dealing with before I call".
VP relied, "No, nothing I can see, but apparently they called several depts and she felt she got the run around".
Troy called up the customer to get some more details.
The customer said, "I am so frustrated!", she started. "My Boss has been hounding me to get this done."
"OK.", Troy replied. "What seems to be the problem?".
"I need to get these transparencies double sided so I can get them out", the secretary explained.
There was a pause. Troy relayed the issue to me. I gave him a look like he had 10 heads.
Troy composed himself.
"Ma'am?", Troy started. "PHYSICALLY, we can do this. However, I can't see why you would do this."
"And why is that?", the secretary asked.
"I know this is going to be a stupid question", Troy explained. ", but for the sake of arguement, what is a tranparency for?"
"Well, to put on a projector to see it on the wall", answered the secretary.
"So what do you think you will see if you print on both sides of a see through media?" Troy asked.
"Well you would..." the secretary stopped.
"Ohhhhh....I am so sorry Troy", she said. "My boss had me so riled up about this I don't know WHAT I was thinking."
"Quite alright, Ma'am", Troy said.
TRUE STORY!!
