Client: I want to go to the moon!

Me: Sure thing! I will build you a rocket.

Client: But I want you to build me a car.

Me: A car can not take you to the moon.

Client: Build me a car.

Me: OK.

You're the one paying, Boss man.

PS: Sell him the car, then and only then, sell him a rocket.

Maybe you should contact Elon Musk and ask him for advice. He is very good at sending cars to other planets (or at least in orbit)😉

Client: why did it take so long?
Client: ok, how do I go to moon with it?
You: as I said before, you can't go to moon with this.
Client: but I already told you that I want to go to moon. This is not I want.

In germany we would call your second answer "Beratungsansatz".

Means something like "consulting approach" in english lingo :D

@alexbrooklyn i love it

I hope the car won't be a... buggy.

Sorry.

Also toddlers.

A rocket? what do you mean you want a car? Sure, I'll build you a bicycle!

*Delivers car*
Client: where's the car?
Me: it's ready. How will you go to moon by this car?
Client: I will just drive the car to the place where the rocket is.
Me: (no comments) ok
