I was just reading through a TUG thread about purchasing a part for a car repair.
It reminded me of something funny that happened years ago. My father had an old Rambler automobile that needed a part. I called the manufacturer and they gave me the number of a dealer in our city that might carry it. They said I should ask for the "Parts Department."
I called and asked if they had parts for an old Rambler. The man who answered didn't seem to understand my question. I then remembered that I was supposed to ask for the "Parts Department." When I did so, he started yelling at me saying that it's a shame I didn't have anything better to do with my life than to disrespect the dead. Turns out I had mis-dialed and reached a funeral parlor.
