That’s A Lot Of Tubes
(A customer enters our pawn shop, and I motion her over to my counter.)
Me: “What can I do for you today?”
Customer: “Yeah, I wanna pawn my internet.”
Me: “Do you mean your computer? If it’s complete and relatively new we’ll take it. You just have to bring it in so we can test it out first.”
Customer: *getting angry* “No, man, my internet!”
Me: “Umm…do you mean your modem? Because we don’t take modems or routers by themselves.”
Customer: “No man, I wanna pawn my internet! My INTERNET!”
Me: “Like…your AOL account or something? We can’t do that either.”
Customer: “No! I wanna pawn my internet, man! THE INTERNET!”
Me: “Ma’am, if you can actually bring me the internet, I’ll give you $100 out of my own wallet and you can keep it.”
Customer: *happy again* “Okay, I’ll be right back!”
(She never came back.)
