Well, thinking about it, it is not that different from real life.
(I hope I did not post this joke before)
<friday>
Army garrison. A Colonel walks around the regimen,
and sees a soldier, polishing his boots with red shoe polish.
He approaches and asks:
- Soldier, what are you doing?
- You don't give a damn about that,- replies soldier
- What? Answer as required!
- Sir, the garrison is out of black shoe polish, so we are using
red polish for out boots, sir!
- I don't give a damn about that!- shouts the colonel out.
- Yes, this is what I just said.
</friday>
So, the caller does not care what exactly happened, it cares in resolving it :-)
Michael.
P.S. The last soldier's reply does not exist in original joke, but
many people I told it to could not get the joke without it ;-)
