Man: | I bought something from you last week, and I’m very disappointed. |
Salesperson: | Oh yeah? What’s the problem? |
Man: | Yeah, well, my blackberry is not working. |
Salesperson: | What’s the matter, it’s run out of juice? |
Man: | No, no, it’s completely frozen! |
Salesperson: | [knocking on table] Oh, yeah, I can see that. I tell you what: let’s try it on orange. |
Man: | That’s got a few black spots, you see… |
Salesperson: | Oh, dear, yes. Sorry about that. |
Man: | Well, is there anything I can do to get my blackberry working? |
Salesperson: | Well, could be an application issue. Where’d you store that Blackberry? |
Man: | Well, it was on my desktop. |
Salesperson: | Well, you could try using a mouse to drag the blackberry to the trash. Then after you’ve done that, you might wanna launch the blackberry from the desktop. |
Man: | Well, I’ve already tried that a few times. I mean, all it did was mess-up windows. |
Salesperson: | [clears throat] Well, it might be worth waiting a couple of weeks. They’ve got the latest blackberries coming in then. |
Man: | Well, could you give me a date? |
Salesperson: | Certainly [pass the man a date]. |
Man: | Let me put that date in my diary. |
Salesperson: | Anything else I can help you with? |
Man: | Yes, yes. I’ve also got a problem, to be honest, with my apple. |
Salesperson: | Oh, dear, oh, dear. That is an old apple, isn’t it? |
Man: | Yeah. |
Salesperson: | When’d you buy that? |
Man: | Last week. |
Salesperson: | Last week? They’ve brought out two new apples since then! What’s the problem with it? |
Man: | Well, I tried to put my dongle in it…and it won’t fit. |
Salesperson: | Oh, yeah. And how big’s your dongle? |
Man: | Well, I don’t know much about these things, but my wife’s seen a few dongles in her time…and she says a little bit on the small side. |
Salesperson: | Well, I’m afraid there’s not a lot I can do about that. Tell you what: let me try booting it. [glass shatters] Now it’s crashed. Anything else I can help you with? |
Man: | Well, funnily enough, yes. My grandson’s birthday’s soon. |
Salesperson: | Oh, yeah. |
Man: | Now, he’s already got an apple and a blackberry. I mean, have you got anything else that he might just like? |
Salesperson: | Well, we’re doing a special offer on these. I mean, I can’t make head or tail of them, but the kids seem to like them. |
Man: | Oh yeah? |
Salesperson: | “Eggs box,” £3.60. |
