Earlier this week, I arrived at the office and the internet connection didn't work. I ended up calling the ISP, and I got routed to someone who might have been a local person with an Indian accent, or more likely, someone at a support center in India. His solution was to unplug the modem, count to 15, and plug it back in. This worked. But it seemed too easy to be satisfying.
Couldn't he have made something up? "Oh, it looks like a problem on our end, please hold while I reset the gufflehoop and check the TRX connection. You'll just have to unplug your modem while I do this. It's for your safety." Then he would put me on hold for a minute, tell me to plug it back in, and wow! It's fixed. Good thing I called the expert.
A long time ago, Naaman made a long journey to see a famous prophet, hoping to have his leprosy cured. The prophet told him, through an assistant no less, to go dunk in the Jordan 7 times. This worked. But it seemed too easy to be satisfying.
Hmm. Is someone trying to teach me a lesson?
