Someone I spoke with, recently, told me about a work situation in which a (corporate-level) customer asked for someone with differing opinions.
By way of analogy...
He's an Anglican who asked for someone of differing religion. He meant a Methodist. He got a Wiccan.
He speaks Italian and wants to learn a new language. He meant Spanish. He got Cantonese.
He's living in Detroit and wants to move somewhere new. He meant Chicago. He got Pyongyang.
He's a concertgoer who got tired of Bach and asked for someone new. He wanted Mozart. He got Sonic Youth.
