Question of the day

C: Do you have soap that doesn't have any soap in it?

T: I'm sorry, soap without soap in it?

C: Yes, soap without any soap in it.

T: I have lots of soap, but I don't think that I have any that is soap-free.

C: That's a shame it's the only thing that I can use on my body. You should get some.

T: I'll have to look into that . . .

I'm surprised your story didn't include some part in it where said customer then asked to fill out a job application.

New question of the day:

C: I have a friend who shops here and I want to buy her a gift.
T: Do you know what she likes
C: I was hoping you could help me
T: O.K., no problem . . .
C: Her name is Martha and she has short brown hair and wears her pants rolled up, do you know her
T:I'm afraid I don't
C: She comes in here a lot but I don't think that she buys anything here.
T: Um . . .
C: I guess it would help if she actually purchased items huh?
T: Yes, that would help out a bit.
C: I suppose that I'll have to ask her what it is that she likes but doesn't buy . . . I'll be back thank you . . . have a nice day . . .

I presume you were able to keep a straight face through all this. Reminds me of Scott's inebriated, 2 a.m. phonecall to the Colorado operator during my bachelor party.

Scott: You know, Nancy. She's about this tall and has blonde hair. She moved to Colorado about a year ago.

At least this customer came to some logical conclusions over the course of the exchange.
