One Word Republic
(I work at a well-known music store. A customer in his mid-40’s approaches my register.)
Customer: “Hi, I’m looking for a CD for my daughter for her birthday by ‘One Republic’. I forgot which CD the song it is on. It goes like this: ‘it’s too late tapollagize, it’s too late’.”
Me: “I think you mean ‘to apologize’, sir. But right over here, please follow me.”
(I pick up the CD ‘Dreaming Out Loud’ and hand it to the man.)
Customer: “No, no, no! This can’t be it.”
Me: “I assure you this is the CD with the song ‘Apologize’ on it, sir.”
Customer: “Are you stupid?! This can’t be it! ‘IT’S TOO LATE TAPOLLAGIZE!'”
(I was eventually able to convince him he was wrong, but he still left the store without buying the CD.)
