Comic Transcript
MONK: So Alex… why are you wearing your gear?
ALEX: My what?
MARK: Your headset. I was curious about that myself.
ALEX: Oh… so we call in when we find Binky.
MARK: Why not just use your cellphone?
ALEX: Sure, I could do that…
ALEX: … it would mean sitting in the customer queue for a few hours until someone — probably King — answered the phone and asked for my customer support number. Before I’d have the chance to tell him who I was, he’d realize I don’t have a customer support number and he’d transfer me to sales.
MONK: Oh yeah… at which point someone from sales would answer the phone trying to sell you a support contract…
ALEX: … and sales isn’t allowed to transfer your call until you buy a support contract.
MONK: And since the support contract wouldn’t be tied to a product we were selling, the application would probably fail…
ALEX: … which would get me transferred to legal.
MARK: Nevermind.
