Pages Of A Post-Apocalyptic Persuasion
Customer: “I want a book to complete the set for my grandson.”
Me: “Certainly, madam. Can I ask what you’re looking for?”
Customer: “Well, he’s interested in history. I want to encourage him, so he’s already got books on World War 1 and World War 2. I want to get him the next one so he can be prepared before they do it at school.”
Me: “Um, the next one?”
Customer: “Yes. Haven’t you got anything on World War 3? I’ve looked all over.”
Me: “I’m sorry, madam. I’m pretty certain we don’t have anything on that subject at the moment.”
Customer: “Oh, never mind, then. I’ll try a bigger bookshop.”
