Extra! Extra! Hey look at the headline!!!

I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

Last night I answer the phone and a man’s voice says:

Hello, I’m calling from the New York Times.  I am writing a review of the restaurant and can’t seem to find a copy of your menu on your website.

I say, that is right we don’t have a copy of the menu on our website.

He huffs and says, WELL.  Then I guess I won’t write the review then.  

I thought to myself as I laughed at the absurdity of it all, that the Times would be more successful if their reporters didn’t give up so easily.
