The phrase used by help desk, retail, and other
customer service workers all across America when they'd like to tell
the person they are speaking to to sit on a large object and spin, but enjoy
maintaining an income.
Customer: I can't get onto
the internet.
Help Desk: Okay, can you please check to make sure the cables are securely connected from the wall to the modem?
Customer: I can't see.
Help Desk: Why not.
Custoemr: The power is off.
Help Desk: Oh,
unfortunately,
you're not going to be able to connect while the power is out. Call back if you need anything. Have a nice day.
