The Bermuda Triangle

I did not grow up near the sea, but I heard about the Bermuda Triangle – that’s where stuff goes and doesn’t come back – so you never go to the Bermuda Triangle. Good to know. The truth is, a few ships disappeared there that got blown way out of proportion and became sensationalized – then we gave it a cool name and the rest is history.

Just a Quick Question

It’s never a Quick Question – it starts at 2 mins, goes to 5, then 10, maybe 20, and possibly ends at 30. That’s not a bad thing; you need information, and someone can help you. The Question cannot be quick because once you get the answer to the first part of your question, you’ll inevitably have more. A better request, with the same amount of urgency, could be; I have an Urgent Question (no time) I need your help (see above) Can you help (immediate, asking for your attention) Do you know this works?
