Question of the Day, A Penny Saved edition
Phone: Ring! Ring!
Me: Hello, Quimby’s.
Caller: Can you tell me if you have something in stock?
Me: Of course, what are you looking for.
Caller: I want a tin piggy bank that says, “I’m saving up for knitting lessons!”
Me: Ah, no, miss. I am afraid we don’t carry tin piggy banks that say things.
Caller: [Exhales] Guess I will have to keep looking. Thank you.
Me: Good luck! -

New Stuff 5/12/07
Oh, the new stuff can cause so much confusion.
Overheard from a group of shoppers around our new table:Girl 1: (points to a copy of Young Peoples History of the United States by Howard Zinn) Wow! this is interesting. Have you ever read Zinn?
Girl 2: Ehh, Zinn! Worst ever! I hated him. Some teacher made us read Zinn [sic] and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It was horrible!
Girl 1: What are you talking about?
Girl 2: What are you talking about?
(group of girls exchange confused and dismayed looks)More new stuff on the flip… (more…)
