LESSON 20 BOB GETS AN ANGRY CALL FROM CAROL

Carol calls Bob to tell him that a customer found a hair in her cookie. Bob wants Carol to forget about this, but Carol thinks it’s

very serious. She refuses to buy any more cookies from Bob.

Carol: Bob, a lady came into the Village Market today ranting and raving.

Bob: Oh yeah? What happened?

Carol: She found a blue hair in her chocolate chip cookie!

Bob: Aha. I can see how she’d be taken aback.

Carol: Does anybody in your family have blue hair?

Bob: As a matter of fact, my son’s girlfriend Amber has blue hair.

Carol: Bob, I can’t sell your cookies anymore.

Bob: Aren’t you blowing things out of proportion?

Carol: The health department would throw the book at me if they found out about this.

Bob: Couldn’t we just sweep this under the rug?

Carol: No. This is too serious.

Bob: But I was just getting a handle on the cookie business. Now what will I do? I don’t have any other way of making a living!

Carol: My heart goes out to you, Bob, but you need to get your act together. I want to sell chocolate chip cookies, not hair cookies!

Bob: I guess I just knocked myself out for the past week for nothing.

Carol: Clearly!
