Have you ever called to have something delivered to your house, and been surprised that you needed the address in order for this to happen? Probably not! Because generally when you want something delivered you know where you are having it sent, but apparently not all people understand this whole delivery process, which I find amusing.
In the process of taking orders for work, I had someone that did not know the person's last name or thier address and wanted something sent to them. When I asked for more information they were surprised that I didn't have a way to find it myself, and that by them describing where the house was, I couldn't produce a last name and address myself. This was funny to me. If this person were to order pizza, or furniture, or cable, or anything else requiring someone to arrive at their home or workplace they would need this information, so why, in my infinite wisdom, would I be the person on earth that could magically come up with it out of thin air?? Sounds like a fun super power or something!!
If the last name could have been provided I would have been willing to try to look up thier information in the phone book, which I in fact did after I finally got that piece of information. Of course they weren't listed in the phone book, as many people these days aren't. So I struck out on that stroke of genius, but the person still didn't really understand what the address information importance was.
So this blog spot was provided purely for your entertainment, so I hope you at least grinned at this silliness. :)
