Helpline:

"General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"

Customer:

"My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't go anywhere!"

Helpline:

"Is the gas tank empty?"

Customer:

"Huh? How do I know?"

Helpline:

"There's a little gauge on the front panel, with a needle, and markings from 'E' to 'F'. Where is the needle pointing?"

Customer:

"I see an 'E' but no 'F'."

Helpline:

"You see the 'E' and just to the right is the 'F'."

Customer:

"No, just to the right of the first 'E' is a 'V'."

Helpline:

"A 'V'?!?"

Customer:

"Yeah, there's a 'C', an 'H', the first 'E', then a 'V', followed by 'R', 'O', 'L' ..."

Helpline:

"No, no, no sir! That's the front of the car. When you sit behind the steering wheel, that's the panel I'm talking about."

Customer:

"That steering wheel thingy -- Is that the round thing that honks the horn?"

Helpline:

"Yes, among other things."

Customer:

"The needle's pointing to 'E'. What does that mean?"

Helpline:

"It means that you have to visit a gasoline vendor and purchase some more gasoline. You can install it yourself, or pay the vendor to install it for you."

Customer:

"What? I paid $12,000 for this car! Now you tell me that I have to keep buying more components? I want a car that comes with everything built in!"
