Braving The Wild Arctic Terrain, One Token At A Time
(A customer asked me to help with the Skee-Ball machine.)
Me: “Is the machine broken or malfunctioning?”
Customer: “Do you know where the skis are?”
Me: “…excuse me?”
Customer: “Ski ball. Where are the skis for me to play with?”
Me: “Skis?”
Customer: “As in cross-country skis?”
Me: “This isn’t that kind of Skee-Ball. You pick up the ball and roll it up there.”
Customer: “Then why is there a slope with a ramp on it at the end?”
Me: “For you to roll the ball up?”
Customer: “IT’S A SKI SLOPE! Although it’s kind of… backward.” *examines the machine*
