a tale
Book store ... saturday morning ... an elderly indian man approaches unsuspecting book seller...
EIM : ahem are you the manager?
UBS : no sorry, she has already left
EIM : Oh then maybe you could help me?
UBS : Of course!
EIM : well, i am not from here, i am from canada and my niece, who is young, is getting married and i need to get her something. you see... she does not know very much ... anything at all ... about sex and those acts
UBS : uuuuuhhhhhh .... okaaaay - i can show you the section and you can look through the titles and see if there is something suitable
Unsuspecting Book Seller leads Elderly Indian Man to the section with Karma Sutra's and Yoga For Lovers and the like
EIM : weeell... i saw this one title over here can you come with me and tell me if it's good?
UBS : okaaaaay
EIM leads UBS Into the CHILDREN'S SECTION
EIM : this one -
hands UBS 'All American Girl : Ready or Not' by meg cabot (the woman who writes the princess diaries)
UBS : ummm this is fiction. children's fiction
EIM : yes but look at the title! 'ready or not'!?! are you sure it isn't the kind of thing i want?
UBS : No
they walk back towards the other section
EIM : ok , which one would you reccommend?
UBS : I really wouldn't know... you can browse through the titles?
there is a second of silence ... UBS takes this opportunity to run away
EIM, after 45 minutes of browsing, purchases 'Sex, Lies & Relationships'
THE END

that was CLASSIC! EXCELLENT! MAGNIFICENT!!!
talking about weird customers, i just had someone put down wrapping paper on the counter, then after i had informed them of the price of the two pieces of wrapping paper (R46-00 in total), the wife screamed 'NO WAYS' and then they marched out of the store in a big puff.
and then i had to put the paper back on the rack. which irritated me.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I thought I'd return the visit and nearly died laughing at this post. Just imagine the niece's reaction upon receiving the gift!
oh my goodness. that is hilarious! and i think it shows what he things of sex. how interesting.
have you seen monsoon wedding? this post reminds me of it.
she probably knows all that stuff already, but just didn't want to shock her poor old uncle.
I'm very impressed at your handling of the situation! I would have run away a lot sooner!
As always sarah...only you! I can't believe that you managed to pull that off! I would have been on the floor in stitches by half-way through the incident! Ten points to you for sheer perseverence!
Ah, the days of Hell on Earth Books! I feel for you Sartjie- I really do! Missing you guys loads.
NICE!!!
