A Stamp Of Disapproval
Me: “Hi, how can I help?”
Customer: “Do you sell stamps?”
Me: “Yes, we do; a book of six first-class or a book of twelve second-class?”
Customer: “Can I have two first-class, please?”
Me: “Two books?”
Customer: “No, just two stamps.”
Me: “We only sell them in books of six.”
Customer: “You’re kidding me?!”
Me: “No, sorry.”
Customer: “You’re having me on!”
Me: “No, sorry.”
Customer: “But I don’t want six!”
Me: “Sorry.”
Customer: “Huh!”
(He left, still muttering “Six! What am supposed to do with six?!”)
