Referral Services

So in case it isn't clear yet, I'm working for a legal referral service.

Today this guy calls in with a contract dispute; someone hadn't paid him. I ask him for his contact information, and he tells me the name of his company, which I'll call John Doe Designs. He adds, "I'm the sole proprietor. I mean single proprietor. And straight. [At this point he's laughing.] And looking." I laughed too, and then I said, "Yeah, sorry, we're not that kind of referral service."

The most amusing part is that this isn't the first time I've gotten to make that comment.
