Best Try The Duet Yourself Checkout
(An elderly gentleman selects a paintbrush and takes it to the counter.)
Customer: “Now, I don’t pay for items. I sing and dance on the tabletops instead.”
Me: *I laugh, thinking he’s joking* “That’s $1.19 please.”
Customer: “Well, I reckon that’d be about a minute’s worth of singing.”
Me: *still thinking he’s joking* “Actually, it’s $1.19, so it’s probably more like a minute and twenty seconds.”
(The customer then starts singing a monotone song — something about a cat. He is hobbling from side to side. I can’t help it; I just laugh until tears are running down my face.)
Customer: “That was verse one! There are 93 more!”
Me: “In that case, I’ll just take the cash.”
