Either Way, Their Works Are Ear-Splitting
(I am working the till when a teenage male customer comes up to me.)
Customer: “Excuse me, do you have any albums by Vincent Van Gogh?”
Me: “I’m sorry?”
Customer: “Vincent Van Gogh.”
Me: “Umm, you do know this is a music store, right?”
Customer: “Yeah. Do you have anything by Vincent Van Gogh or not?”
Me: “No. Vincent Van Gogh was a painter, not a musician.”
Customer: “What?! But didn’t he do that song, Starry Night?”
Me: “Sir, Starry Night is the name of one of Van Gogh’s paintings.”
Customer: “Are you sure?”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: “Ah, geez. I asked my girlfriend who her favorite artist was. She must’ve misunderstood the question. Hang on, let me go talk to her.”
(He leaves. A few minutes later, he comes back.)
Customer: “Sorry about that. Do you have anything by Michael Bolton?”
Me: “Yes we do. Would you like me to show you?”
Customer:“Yes! Thank God, I thought he’d be another painter!”
