"General Motors HelpLine #1"
HelpLine: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help
you?"
Customer: "I got in my car and closed the door
and nothing happened!"
HelpLine: "Did you put the key in the ignition slot
and turn it?"
Customer: "What's an ignition?"
HelpLine: "It's a starter motor that draws current
from your battery and turns over the engine."
Customer: "Ignition? Motor? Battery? Engine?
How come I have to know all these technical terms
just to use my car?"

"General Motors HelpLine #2"
HelpLine: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help
you?"
Customer: "My car ran fine for a week and now it
won't go anywhere!"
HelpLine: "Is the gas tank empty?"
Customer: "Huh? How do I know?"
HelpLine: "There's a little gauge on the front panel
with a needle and markings from 'E' to 'F'. Where
is the needle pointing?"
Customer: "It's pointing to 'E'. What does that mean?"
HelpLine: "It means you have to visit a gasoline vendor
and purchase some more gasoline. You can install it
yourself or pay the vendor to install it for you."
Customer: "What? I paid $12,000 for this car! Now
you tell me that I have to keep buying more components?
I want a car that comes with everything built in!"
