Customer: “How do I get these orchids to bloom again, once the current flowers fall of? ”

Me: “If you have more than one orchid, they will cross-pollinate, or ‘mate’, with each other, and they should bloom again.”

Customer: “Mate? I should record that on my computer and put it on the internet!”

(I laugh, thinking he’s kidding. He’s not. He stares at me blankly for a moment before speaking again.)

Customer: “I’m going to pick out the hottest orchids!”
