Não consigo resistintir à precisão americana sem largar uma gargalhada:

3:20 pm
(me): I would like to know what time do you close, I am sending now a package by messenger.
(on the other side of the line): sorry, but our office is closed.
(me): What time do you close?
(on the other side of the line): we already closed, at 3:00
3:21 pm
(me): hummm...but, can I send this anyway, is extremely urgent, I send it to your attention, I will apreciate your help.
(on the other side of the line): I am sorry, but I am living in three and a half minutes.

3:22:30 pm… “three and a half minutes” ????
