Charlie Ran Away

The bookstore where I used to work is in Mississippi.

Customer: “Where are all the Charlie The Ranch Dog books?”

I checked the computer.

Me: “It looks like we don’t have any in stock.”

Customer: “Why not?”

Me: “They must not be popular here.”

Customer: *Angrily* “Well, they are in Colorado!”

I wanted to point the way back north for her.
