Breaking Down

CALLER

Hi, may I speak to Albert, please?

ME

He isn't in today, is there something I can help you with?

CALLER

hmm.. maybe.. I'd like to make a payment

ME
Sure, I can take that for you, just give me a moment

CALLER

Wait a Minute.. first let me ask you.. Can I trust you?

ME

(silence)

CALLER

You there? I asked Can I trust you?

ME

You know, i will try to answer you honestly, so I guess I have to say Yes, unless you will be paying with candy, because I just cannot be left in a room alone with it. If one chose to go deeper into the matter, you could also say you cannot trust me with a q tip. I have an insane urge to stick q-tips in my ear, even if I just put one there a minute ago.

So you're probably better off waiting for Albert, and paying that extra $25 late fee, because I am sure Albert can hold his ground in a roomful of candy, and he doesn't clean his ears.
