How she really sold all those books
Seen on “Not Always Right” the other day:
Customer: “Do you happen to sell that Harry Potter book?”
Me: “Yes, sir, we do. Would you like me to show you where they are?”
Customer: “If it’s no trouble…”
Me: “No trouble at all. ”
(I lead him over to the children’s section and hand him the first book in the series.)
Me: “Here you are. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Customer: “No, I think that’s all I need.”
(The customer shovels a dozen copies of the same book into his arms.)
Customer: “The church is having a book burning tonight and I just need to make sure I bring enough.”
Me: *laughs*
Customer: *completely serious* “I’m not joking.”
Me: “Oh. Well, you do realize that there are now four books in the series?”
(I knew there was a logical explanation!)
