A couple of weeks ago, 18-year-old Barry*, plagued with recession-induced boredom at work, asked me, "V? When a customer makes a payment on account, does that count towards sales?"
While that inquiry struck me as hopelessly, inhumanly and blasphemously preposterous, i replied with the winning smile that everyone in the professional world loves so, "No, Barry, it doesn't."
Then, witnessing his plain disappointment, i expressed sympathy.
When what i wanted to say was:
Well, are you selling something? No? Then i guess NOT.
*Not his real name
