A Triple Rainbow Of Pens
(I work part-time at the local convenience store that sells school supplies, snacks, basic clothing, and other things. A customer walks in smelling heavily of marijuana.)
Customer: “Can I get some pens?”
Me: “Umm, sure.”
(I show the customer over to the area where we keep pens and pencils.)
Customer: “Whoa… YOU GUYS HAVE PINK PENS?!”
Me: “Yes, why?”
Customer: “I didn’t know they made pink pens!”
Me: “Umm… they make pens in every color, sir.”
Customer: “Even… ORANGE?!”
Me: “Yes, even orange.”
Customer: “Even YELLOW?! Oh, wait, that’d just be a highlighter.”
Me: *points at yellow gel pens* “No, they make yellow pens, too.”
Customer: “WOW!”
(The customer buys his pens and leaves. Good to know I may have changed someone’s life.)
