Funcoland Employee: Funcoland, Joe speaking, how may I help you?
Double L: Um…my NES broke yesterday.
Joe: Your what?
Double L: NES, the old Nintendo.
Joe: Oh, Ok. What happened?
Double L: I don't know…all of a sudden none of the games work.
Joe: I see…have you thought of purchasing a cleaning kit?
Double L: Um, what's a cleaning kit?
Joe: We have cleaning kits for the NES that clean both the system and the games.
Double L: Oh, that's pretty cool. How much do they cost?
Joe: Fifteen dollars.
Double L: Fifteen dollars!
Joe: It really is a good investment.
Double L: Is it really? Or are you just saying that to get that precious two dollar commission?
Joe: Um…how'd you know that?
Double L: Because I own Funcoland.
Joe: Sure. Anyways, you can either buy a cleaning kit or you can send your NES and your games to a repair center.
Double L: How much does that cost?
Joe: You have to call for pricing.
Double L: So basically I have to spend money to fix my NES.
Joe: Yup.
Double L: Why can't I just blow on the games? Won't that work eventually if I do it enough?
Joe: Oh, no, no, no, you can't blow on games. It's really bad for them.
Double L: Why? I heard that it was good for them?
Joe: No, it really hurts them. What happens is at first the dust is just on top of the contacts. But when you blow on the games, the dust digs it's way into the game's contacts. The more you blow, the further and further in the dust goes.
Double L: You'd have to have an IQ of 50 to believe that.
Joe: What?
Double L: I'll pay you one hundred dollars if that's actually true.
Joe: Listen, do you want the cleaner or not? I'll reserve one for you.
Double L: When do you get off work.
Joe: 7:00, why do you care.
Double L: I'll come at 7:30, that way someone else gets the commission.
(Joe hangs up.)
Overall, it was an OK prank. Mainly because it was unplanned. However, he did get sort of annoyed, and I did waste five minutes of his time. YaY!
