A Browsing Familiarity With The Law

(My sister and I are tourists, and we are enjoying walking down a street and looking at all the high-end clothing stores, as we don’t have very much of that sort of thing in our town. Most of the store clerks are very polite, as we are clean-cut and relatively well dressed, until we walk into one particular store, and begin to look around.)

Clerk: *approaching us* “Can I help you with anything?”

Sister: “Oh, I was just looking at this belt here. The one with the snails on it?”

Clerk: “Do you mean the belt with the escargot design?”

Sister: “Yes?”

Clerk: “Can I help you with anything ELSE?”

Sister: “No, thank you. We’re just browsing.”

Clerk: *huffs, and turns away, abruptly* “Well! I suppose that’s LEGAL.”
