I was trying to help solve a problem today. The female said in a slow southern drawal, "We need to know the driiiiiii time of a chemical." I am looking all over on line. She repeats that she can't find the "driiiiiiiiiiiiii time" either.
I get off the phone and call the company that produces the chemical and ask them for the dry time. She finds the specs, but can't find the dry time either. While the support person is on the phone looking for the dry time, the other line rings. It is my southern drawal friend.... I told her I'm online with the company and that they were searching for the dry time. She said that they were googling and were looking for the kill time. Kill time????? Ooops I tell her, I'll call you back. I take the support person off hold. . . . .she has been searching for the dry time. I tell her that I misunderstood the call request. They were really looking for die time or kill time. She kept looking and found the information I needed.
I smiled about that all day. Driiiiiiiiiiiii time Die time hmmmmmmm sounds the same to me.
Ciao
