Me: Good afternoon, Staid Spring Onions.
Caller: Hi there. I'm calling about... I just heard about you. I don't know what you do, but I was told you have money to give out.
Me: Ok...
Caller: Well! I'm an artist. And I was told you had money to give out. The deadline is gone weeks ago, but I thought seeing as I'd never heard of you that you'd make an exception. Can I have an application form?
Me: I'm afraid not, our deadlines are very strictly adhered to to ensure fairness to all applicants...
Caller: Ah, feck.

Gah!
Good afternoon, welcome to Turnip Towers.
No, there is noone working here. No, they do not answer their phones. No, there are no cups for the water bubble. No, you cannot leave your pamphlets on display here. No, the phone does not work for external calls, you can't access the wifi, and no, I can't photocopy your documents for you. The paper is for reading in the reception room only, you can't take it with you. Please keep your children, dogs and mothers under control. No, I don't have change for the parking meter, and yes, the clampers are very vigilant. No, I can't watch your car for you.
Yes, it is a glorious day, now out you go and enjoy it.
