I just got a call from one of our Sales team. Here is the question she had for me.

Me: Hi Jane (not her real name) What's up?
Jane: Mike?
Me: Yes, this is Mike. What's up Jane?
Jane: This is Jane.
Me: OK, Hi Jane. You have a question?
Jane: Hi Mike.
Me: Hi.
Jane: Can I ask you a question?
Me: Uh, sure.
Jane: I've got this customer on the phone.
Me: uh huh.
Jane: He's from Japan.
Me: Cool.
Jane: Well, he doesn't live in Japan anymore.
Me: Oh.
Jane: He moved to New York.
Me: OK.
Jane: But then he moved to Texas.
Me: Of coarse he did.
Jane: He has a daughter in college now.
Me: Is she cute?
Jane: Huh? I don't know.
Me: That's ok. I was just joking. What does she need?
Jane: Well, she's going to SMU.
Me: OK.
Jane: She's taking Computer Science.
Me: I'm married.
Jane: Huh, what?
Me: Never mind.
Jane: What did you mean?
Me: It was just a joke. Please tell me what you need.
Jane: Oh, ah. Ha ha. She's got a laptop.
Me: Yup.
Jane: She took it with her to spring break.
Me: Big mistake.
Jane: Yeah, I guess it was. Some guy she met there was into volleyball.
Me: And?
Jane: Well he spilled beer all over it while she was playing. And then it fell in the sand.
Me: Not good.
Jane: Yeah, the keyboard is all messed up now.
Me: So she needs a keyboard?
Jane: Yeah.
Me: OK, so?
Jane: It's part number P000??????.
Me: OK.
Jane: But our system says that it's been discontinued and that we can't get anymore.
Me: Bummer.
Jane: Can we still get these?
Me: (long pause) So he's from Japan you say?
