A conversation I had which I still don't understand

Baffled, by Terry Freedman.jpg

This is a phone conversation I had with a cab company. We’d reached the stage where I’d established where I was and my required destination.

Me: How much will this journey cost?

Cab co: Would you like to pay £5 or £11?

Me: What's the difference?

Cab co: £6

Me: Thank you, yes, I worked that out.

Me:

What's the difference in service?

Cab co: None.

Me: None?

Cab Co: That's correct, sir.

Me: Then I'll opt for the £5 charge please.

Cab co: Right you are, sir.

As my American friends would say, go figure.
