I had a phone conversation today with a very nice young chap from Pakistan.

 This is how it went.:

“Hello, how are you today? Sir, my name is Sanjit, and I’m calling you from Microsoft.”

“Microsoft, is that a city in Pakistan?”

” No Sir, MICROSOFT, the computer company. I’m calling to tell you that we have found a problem with your computer.”

“Really, that’s quite concerning.”

“Yes Sir, it can become very serious indeed but thankfully I will be able to fix it for you.

No, I meant it’s very concerning because I don’t have a computer.”

“You don’t?”

“No.”

“Ahh, it must be a problem on your laptop Sir.”

“Don’t have one.”

“iPad?”

“Nope.”

“Tablet?”

“I have none of those things. As a matter of fact, I don’t even have a telephone.”

After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Sir, you are lying to me!”

I said “Well, you started it!” And hung up.
