Wrote this back in 2009. Think of it like one of Bob Newhart’s telephone routines. Enjoy!
“Copy Center Support Hotline. If your problems are double, we’ll fix ’em no trouble. Your call may be monitored for training and quality purposes. How may I help you today?”
“Yes, this is the Copy Center that makes clones.”
“No, sir, it’s not a silly question. Sometimes the phone books aren’t always clear about the listings and put us in with office supply chains. It’s actually helped me to learn a lot more about paper than I ever wanted to know.”
“Yes, it really is common. It’s kind of ironic though, since our founder once worked as a copy machine repair man before he got into this business. Guess it sort of inspired him, you know. Anyway what can I help you with today?”
“You’d like to place a complaint.”
“Yes, you have reached the right department. What is the nature of your complaint sir? We aim to provide you with every satisfaction.”
“Really, I’m sorry about the wait sir. Most of our callers are directed right on through. An hour is quite a while to be on the phone. I’ll have to speak with my…”
“Oh, I’m sorry on your lunch hour…”
“What would have been your lunch hour. I’m not sure I quite catch your meaning.”
“Oh, I see, you lost your job, I’m sorry to hear that sir. This recession has been tough on all of us. I’m really sorry about the wait. We’ve been increasing our call staff.”
“Well the usual way, sir, we’ve got about a hundred mes, I’m Mandy 75 by the way.”
“You’ll need the number if you’d like to comment on my service to you later.”
“Yes I wouldn’t want to keep you any longer. What is it you were concerned about sir?”
“Your job, yes you did tell me you lost it. I’m afraid we do all our hiring from within. Our sales staff are copied of our founder, Harold Emmett.”
“I’m sorry I thought you might be calling about a job vacancy, since the company is expanding every day. How did you lose your job?”
“A clone we made for you? Would you hang on a minute sir while I pull up the details of your case. By the way sir, what is your name?”
“Alright, I’m looking that up now. Yes there you are. You had Monday’s Harold Emmett correct?”
“There’s one for every day of the week. I just wanted to make sure I had the details of this sale correct. Now it says here you purchased one of our technical models. I presume you bought this for the purpose of replacing you at work?”
“I’m sorry that was poorly phrased. I meant to say so that you could spend more time away from the office.”
“Well as far as I’m concerned there’s nothing wrong with a little vacation, or even a long one. After all our main sales staff is only here one day of the week, and I myself only work half days three times a week.”
“So you did use the clone at work. It says here on the sales receipt you chose the basic social skills package, opting out of our premium package.”
“We believe it is worth any extra expense, especially in cases like yours. Was your clone rude to your boss?”
“Promoted? Well our technical models are very focused in their work, though with the social package you purchased he wouldn’t have made very good company on dates.”
“Well I don’t suppose you were planning on having him replace you in those areas sir. Some of our married clients like to have someone to help out with the romance part of their lives, if they have work they’d rather accomplish. But that doesn’t sound like you. Maybe you’d better explain what happened when you had the clone stand in for you.”
“How did your boss find out it wasn’t you?”
“I’m sure you were careful to tell the clone everything he needed to know on the days you were in, and we guarantee the memory of our clones, so you should have received an accurate account.”
“Had a little snafu with the scheduling, I see. So you both went to work on the same day.”
“Yeah, I’ve slept through my share of alarms before. Did the clone go in to cover for you?”
“Well his heart was in the right place. You didn’t find any kind of a note?”
“Well I don’t suppose it would be as helpful to find it when you got home. Still you must have had some way of realizing your clone had gone to work before your boss saw you. Did the clone usually stay at home when you were out?”
“No, I understand it can be a little boring sitting around the house all day. Still it sounds like the clone was acting in your best interest, after all he is you.”
“I am not making light sir, I’m just saying these things can happen without the proper planning. What happened when you got to work?”
“You were late for a presentation, and you walked in on your clone already giving it. Was this in front of your boss?”
“And the shareholders.”
“No, you’re right, that sounds pretty embarrassing. My boss probably wouldn’t be pleased either.”
“Well I’m just saying if there were only one of me to begin with.”
“No I’m afraid you can’t return him for a refund. We have a strict no returns policy, given that we’re actually talking about real human beings.”
“I’m sorry you feel that way. How did you try to explain him?”
“You tried to pass him off as your twin brother?”
“Yes sir, we’ve actually heard of a lot of people trying that, though they don’t tend to weigh and look exactly the same in real life.”
“Well he should be very good at finishing your sentences at least.”
“You have to admit it was a bit of a long shot sir. I mean if your brother was standing in for your presentation, why would you bother to come in at all, and for that matter wouldn’t he have his own work to be doing?”
“Your boss said all that, and what else?”
“Well I think calling you that was a little out of line too. After all, clones are becoming an accepted part of society now. I am sorry to hear about all of this but I don’t see what we…”
“That’s not the worst part…”
“Well tell me sir, what is?”
“He liked the presentation? We do take pride in our work sir.”
“So because of the presentation your clone got promoted.”
“For half pay? That does seem a bit drastic.”
“Yes we do design our clones to work off fusion based sources of energy. It’s part of our program to prevent over population, or at least some of the problems associated with it. Our clones should only need to eat once every couple of months or so. And any emissions are very green.”
“Well I guess you wouldn’t need as much money if you weren’t buying any food.”
“I understand you still need to eat. Have you thought about trying to get yourself hired as your assistant?”
“Hello, sir?”
