A Conversation at TGV

jonzz	Good evening, miss. I'm here to collect booking number '2499'.
Ticket Lady	'2499'? I'm afraid, sir, you must have made a mistake. All our booking numbers are in 5 digits.
jonzz	Really, urr... *Dang, what's the number... I have to call my friend... *
Ticket Lady	Hold on, sir. I think your number is probably '24299'. Here, let me check. *Punches some digits*. Ahhh.... 3 tickets for '300' at 11.30pm under Mr W.
jonzz	*Very impressed!*. Wow, that is the correct booking, miss.
Ticket Lady	That will be RM27.00 please.
jonzz	*Handing over RM30.00*
Ticket Lady	Excuse me, sir, do you have small change. 1 dollar, 1 dollar?
jonzz	*Oh, the lady doesn't have change* *Hands over RM32.00.
Ticket Lady	*Looks flabbergasted*. Urr... how much change am I supposed to return to you?
jonzz	*Wide-eyed look* I believe, miss, that RM32.00 minus RM 27.00 equals RM5.00.
Ticket Lady	*Looking unconvinced and gives a sheepish grin* Umm.. sir, just give me your RM30.00.
jonzz	Urrr... okay... *Hands over RM30.00.*
Ticket Lady	*Fiddles in the cash register, and takes out RM3.00 AND a RM5.00 note* Sir, here's your RM3.00.
jonzz	*Takes the RM3.00*
Ticket Lady	Now, can you give me your RM2.00 AND the RM3.00, AND I will give your the RM 5.00 note.
jonzz	*So stunned at this moment at this display of 'intelligence' and 'redundancy' so just obeyed the ticket lady.
Ticket Lady	Thank you, sir. Have a nice day..
jonzz	. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . thank you . . .

Thought of the day: First impressions don't count.
