Helium

Customer: Are you on helium?
Me: Err, no. Why do you ask?
Customer: Because your voice is very high-pitched and you sound very happy.
Me: Ooops, no. I'm NOT on helium, pardon me.
Customer: *Chuckles*
Me: Thank you and have a nice day (low-pitch)

*Sigh* I'm trying to speak with a lower pitch these days. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't *shrug* Can't please everybody :)
