I hate pop quizzes, too

The phone rings.

"Thank you for calling Pizza Place, can I help you?"

"Yes, I have a coupon for a medium pizza with up to three toppings for $8.99. I'd like to get that."

"Okay."

"And that's all."

"What toppings did you want?"

"...Huh?"

"What toppings did you want? On the pizza?"

"Uh...uh...uh...uh...hmm. Uh..uh..."

No intelligible speech for a seconds. Some off-phone discussion. Then, I hear the phone handed to someone else, who tells me:

"We're gonna have to call you back." *click*

Guess it wasn't really fair to blindside them with a question like that.

They never did call back.
