Joke: Outsourcing Help Hotlines

I was feeling a bit depressed the other day, so called the "Help Hotline".

The call went through to a 'call center' in Pakistan.

I explained that I was feeling suicidal.

They were very excited at this news and wanted to know if I could drive
a truck or fly an airplane....

 

I hung up. Later that night, unable to sleep, I tried again, complaining of insomnia.

The call went through a a call center in India.

They were very excited and asked if I'd be interested in a 7-11 franchise in Columbus Ohio, that I'd be perfect for the night shift.

My kid woke up crying, with an earache. I called the helpline and told them about my kid. This time I got a good ol' American, from South Dakota.

They called me a Hillarycare commie socialist and told me to get a job and pay a doctor like a real American.

I'm thinking of calling Pakistan again.
