So Beaker comes into my office.
"I need a check for Blah-Blah-Blah Company. He's coming to get it today," he meeped.
"Okay, Beaker, except one small problem," I told him. "It's a two-signature check and only one of the signers is here."
"Okay," he meeped. "So he can get the check this afternoon?"
"No, he can't. The check has to have two signatures on it. Only one of the people that can sign it is here, and that's me," I try again.
"Well, he's coming to get it," Beaker meeped.
"Well he can have the check all he wants to," I explained. "But the bank won't cash it. TWO signatures. ONE signer."
"I told him he can get the check," Beaker continues. "Fozzie said he could."
"Well, Fozzie didn't sign a check before he left, so Fozzie was wrong."
"Okay, well when he gets here, I'll tell him to see you for the check."
"He can see me, unless I'm invisible, but it's not going to get him a check," I explain again.
"Can't you sign it," Beaker asks.
"Yes I can. Can you count to two?"
(as a side-note, the Blah-Blah Company guy just got here, and yes, indeed, Beaker just sent him to my desk, to get the check. Luckily, the Blah-Blah guy can count to two and understands it. Beaker, however, is still mystified. I think he needs to start hanging out more with The Count.)
