A very weird conversation

Our door bell rang today and it was the guy that normally cleans out our gutters. He said it was time to clean them out.

Mark responded with "Before the leaves fall?"

The gutter guy's response: "Yeah, cause that stuff just gets in there and clogs them up"

Uhm, am I missing something here? Isn't that the point of getting them cleaned out? To mostly get dead leaves out? We think the man must need some money, so we're letting him pseudo clean them out today. Guess he'll stop and want to clean them out again once the leaves fall. He came in March too and didn't get anything out when he cleaned them, but got a bunch out in December. Oh well. We got a pretty good laugh out of it.
