A Story by andrew mitchell

Greetings! How can I help you?
Greetings Mr. Mitchell. How can I help you?
Hello! My friend has this problem...
Well! She should have come here!
She did!
Well it must be sorted then!
No it isn't!
Oh!... Well!..... I'm sure she's home now and all is okay.
No! Its not!
What's her name?
Oh! Yes!
When I was told from the Help Department,
sorry due to confidentiality we cannot help you any further.
I knew this was "the cloak of denial"
Did you say confidentiality?
Yes!
What do you mean?
It simply means we have ran out of lies and only the truth remains.
The twists and smoke screens no longer work!
So it's really Management Protection!
Yes, that's correct. We can't tell you the truth!
And what about saying sorry?
Oh that's just to appease you!
Just a sprinkle of icing! We don't mean it! 
Ha!`Ha! Dear Boy!
But this is the Help Department?
It is! But we help ourselves first!
And the greetings?
Oh that! We just love to patronise.
We're a supercilious lot!
Goodbye! Have a super day!
Next Please! Ticket number.....
Greetings!......How can we help?

Egad, so sardonic and true! Isn't it almost comical when you reveal the true-ish-nesses that we sweep under the rug, only to find they are absurd to begin with?
I needed this, and enjoyed it very much, thank you
