The Internet . . . Not the Most Reliable Source.

  • This is a conversation I had with a customer yesterday on the phone.
  • Customer: Do you guys (Barnes & Noble) take Borders' certificates?
  • Me: No sir, we don't
  • Customer: Didn't you guys buy Borders?
  • Me: No sir, we didn't.
  • Customer: The internet said you did.
  • Me wanting to say: Well, the internet said the world would come to an end last year but it didn't, did it?
