Help Desk, by Christopher B. Wright

Comic Transcript: 

NARRATOR: Somewhere in Mountain View, CA

Scott: Hey guys.

YELLOW-SHIRTED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: Scott! Good to see you! How are you doing today?

SCOTT: Well to be perfectly honest I'm confused and a little upset.

YELLOW-SHIRTED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: Okay, let's talk. Let's see if we can resolve the problem.

SCOTT: Well you guys had me making cold calls to businesses in Kenya for th last few weeks, trying to drum up business for our web services.

BLUE-SHIRTED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: Congratulations, by the way. You were our best agent in that effort. I think you broke a few records!

SCOTT: Yeah, well... all the contact information you gave me was data we scraped off a Kenyan startup in that area. You told me we'd entered into a business partnership with them.

BLUE-SHIRTED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: Of course! We wanted to make sure you didn't think there was anything improper going on.

According to the news there WAS something improper going on.

BLUE-SHIRTED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: Yes, but we didn't want you to think that.
