Waste of my time, waste of your money.
Today I got a phone call from someone in private industry (name of company will not be mentioned) who wanted to know the approximate number of people who live near salt water bodies. Are you freaking kidding me? What am I, a box of Trivial Pursuit cards? I told him that my agency did not calculate such statistics. He really wanted an answer though, he told me that they had a bet going on in his office. Jesus H. Christ. I told him that I was not qualified to make a guess and bid adieu. Nice waste of both of our time buddy!
I would have just told him:
"The ones that do..."
Then hung up...
