Interesting Call of the Day
Alissa comes down to my office and asks me to talk to this guy on the phone because she's sure she misheard him and wants to see if I can understand him.
So I get on the phone and give the standard "I'm sorry, who were you holding for?"
Him: "I was just waiting to talk to someone about a practice loan."
Me: "And what kind of practice are you looking to finance."
Him: "Dairy."
Me: "Ok, just one moment."
Look at Alissa. Did he really say dairy? That's what she had thought to. So she finally gets back on the line to try and get a bit more information from him.
Her: "I'm sorry sir, are you saying diary, as in... cows?"
Him: "Yes, as in cows."
Her: "Well, we typically only do loans for Allstate agents, dentist and vets."
Him: " Well, I'm a vet. Why the hell do you think I'm calling?!"
You know, if I were a vet, I don't think I'd say I was in the dairy business. You say you're in the dairy business, I'm thinking a dairy farm. Weird people.
