Bob Gets an Angry Call from Carol

Carol calls Bob to tell him that a customer found a hair in her cookie. Bob wants Carol to forget about this, but Carol thinks it's very serious. She refuses to buy any more cookies from Bob.

Carol: Bob, a lady came into the Village Market today ranting and raving. 

Bob: Oh yeah? What happened? 

Carol: She found a blue hair in her chocolate chip cookie! 

Bob: Aha. I can see how she'd be taken aback. 

Carol: Does anybody in your family have blue hair? 

Bob: As a matter of fact, my son's girlfriend Amber has blue hair. 

Carol: Bob, I can't sell your cookies anymore. 

Bob: Aren't you blowing things out of proportion? 

Carol: The health department would throw the book at me if they found out about this. 

Bob: Couldn't we just sweep this under the rug? 

Carol: No. This is too serious. 

Bob: But I was just getting a handle on the cookie business. 
Now what will I do? I don't have any other way of making a living! 

Carol: My heart goes out to you, Bob, but you need to get your act together. I want to sell chocolate chip cookies, not hair cookies! 

Bob: I guess I just knocked myself out for the past week for nothing. 

Carol: Clearly!
