– Ring! Ring!
– Proteomic Services, Richard speaking. How can I help you?
– Hi. Is XXX there?
– No, he’s not in today, can I take a message?
– It’s YYY from purchasing. He asked us to order some software for him and I need to know if it’s for Mac or Windows.
– Well, if you tell me what the software is, I can probably answer that.
– Can you? oh good. It’s a copy of Windows 7 Professional.
– [very loud silence] That’s probably for Windows…
– It would be, wouldn’t it?
