Fifty Shades Of Dark Knight
(A woman comes into the store.)
Customer: “I need the latest Harlequin book!”
Me: “Of course. Do you know the title or author?”
Customer: “No. But it’s the latest one!”
(In the spirit of providing good customer service, I quickly retrieve the latest Harlequin releases to show the woman. Upon seeing the books, the customer gives me a very unexpected response:)
Customer: “NO! NO! This is wrong! I want the one with Batman!”
(Fortunately, the Batman reference tells me what the customer is ACTUALLY looking for.)
Me: “Ah. You want the latest HARLEY QUINN comic book.”
Customer: “That’s what I said! Harlequin!”
(The wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable determines whether you get a comic book, or an erotic novel.)
