A Real Oxymoron
Supermarket | New York, NY, USA
(I’m putting a sale sign above a cooler containing shrimp when a customer approaches me.)
Customer: “Jumbo shrimp? That’s funny.”
Me: “Yeah it’s kind of an oxymoron, huh?”
Customer: “What the h*** did you just call me?”
Me: “An oxymoron is an English term, sir.”
Customer: “I don’t care if it’s a French term! Nobody insults me and gets away with it!”
(The customer suddenly grabs me and puts me into a tackle. He held me in it for a good 30 seconds before coworkers arrived to help!)
