D.B., that sketch was not about complaining, it was about arguing!

Isn't there one in which a man goes to the complaint department and the person staffing it starts complaining? <BR>

Aha! It was about arguing. And, when the other guy wouldn't argue anymore because his time was up, the guy went looking for someone to whom to complain. And upon opening a door, he gets: Complain!
