Eye Appointment

- Hello, [lengthy place-of business ID and greeting], how may I help you?
- - Hi, I'd like to schedule an eye exam. When can I come in?
- When would you like to come in?
- - When's the next available appointment?
- When would you like it to be?
- - Do you always answer a question with a question?
- Do you... um... Darn it.
- - I win! Hooray!
- I just couldn't get it turned around in time. *sigh* But really, when do you want to come in? I don't think we can see you today.
- - How's Tuesday?
Appointment-making nitty-gritty ensued.

It wasn't until he read back the date that I realized I'd chosen St. Patrick's Day to get my eyes checked.
