Man Tries to Pay Utility Bill With Spider Drawing

OMG! No way! This is probably the funniest thing the internet has ever produced.

Wait, explain the premise again? A utility bill. Ok. And a man trying to pay it with a drawing of the spider? And then the utility company says no? AWESOME.

Wait, again. Sorry, I don't see why that's funny.

Also, the last part doesn't make any sense:

"It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it."

Ah, the whole project is ironic. And actually, it might be funny if it were a cable bill, say, since the author could be saying that cable is worthless and yet is so expensive.

But utilities? Aren't those actually super valuable? And in any event, cable or utilities, didn't the author agree to pay for those services?

So this is a far cry from the telemarketing joke where you ask the telemarketer if you can call them back at a later time, and ask for their *home number,* hoping they say "no, I don't want to be called at home." And you say "gotcha." Now that's kind of funny.
