How is it stupid people know how to make phones work?

THIS IS A REAL PHONE CALL THAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS NOT SEAWORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS AS REAL AS IT GETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...all names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent.....
     "Hello Comic Town, this is Ryan how can I help you?"
(read with a VERY thick Asian Indian accent) "Hello, where is Morse Road?"
     "We're located on the corner of Maize and Morse."
     "No. Where is Morse Road?"
     "Uhhh (you will notice the Fargo level of  this words usage shortly) It's off of 71?"
     "What is it you do at this Comic Town?"
     "We sell comic books and Magic the Gathering card game."
     "So you do magics?"
     "Uhhh, no we sell comic books."
     "I am being hard to understand you. You have magic there?"
     "Magic the Gathering a collectible card game, yes."
     "Then you can show me this magics?"
     "Give you a demo game? Sure."
     "I am needing to know things. How is it you do magic?"
     "Uhhh, it's a card game."
     "What is it that you would do this?"
     "Uhhh, I'm not following your question."
     "You are at 1249 Morse Road, your name is Ron and you are open late?'
     "Yes, yesish and till 8 PM yes."
     "Late or 8?"
     "8?"
     "I will be there in 15 minutes and then maybe you show and tell me what you do?"
     "I sell comic books (read with fearful whimper)"
I now look confused and try to explain what just took place on the phone. Neither Tim nor our guest at the time could even fathom what I was talking about....15 minutes pass and a short Asian Indian man wearing a plaid button down shirt, dress khakis and mandals enters the store looking nervous and afraid. Tim takes this bullet to the head...
     "Hi, how are you doing? Is there anything special I could help you find tonight?"
     "Do you show things?"
     "Like do conventions?"
     "No, show ME things?"
     "We don't do appraisals."
     "No. Magic. Show me."
     "Like a demo game of Magic?"
     "No! Show me magics."
     "We don't do magic tricks or illusions sir. We carry Magic the card game."
     "NO! Show me magics. Tell me my future with the magic cards."
     "uhhhh...."
Drops mike exits stage left. This really just fucking happened bitches. Why am I not allowed to buy sleeping pills from CVS again?
