| P | "Brussels police department, how may I assist you?" |
| B | "Uh.. yes.. I just got hit in the face with a cream pie." |
| P | "Okay, sir. Have you called the Brussels police department before?" |
| B | "No" |
| P | "Well, let me get a little information about you for our records. Your name?" |
| B | "Bill Gates" |
| P | "Country?" |
| B | "The USA" |
| P | "Native language?" |
| B | "English" |
| P | "Okay, sir. Your police department ID number is BP31415927. Please
use this number the next time you call. Now, you say you were hit
in the face with a pie?" |
| B | "Yes, I was just about to meet with the Belgian Prime Minister.
One person distracted me while another hit me with a cream pie." |
| P | "We've had other customers report that they were hit in the face
with a custard pie. Are you sure it was a cream pie?" |
| B | "Well, I have white stuff all over my face and I don't see any
custard, so I really don't think it was a custard pie." |
| P | "Have you visited the Prime Minister before?" |
| B | "Yes" |
| P | "Were you hit in the face with a pie then?" |
| B | "No" |
| P | "Hmm... have you visited any other Prime Ministers in the past month?" |
| B | "Yes" |
| P | "Any pies then?" |
| B | "No" |
| P | "Okay, well.. let's try something. Go outside the building and
come in again. I'll wait." |
| B | "Just a minute.." <several minutes pass> "Okay, I'm back." |
| P | "Did you get hit by another pie?" |
| B | "Of course not" |
| P | "Well sir, I don't know what could have caused the first pie, but
it looks like things are working fine now. I'll make a note of
the problem, though. If it happens again, please note the exact
details of the situation and call us again.
Thank you for calling the Brussels Police Department. <click>" |
