I Sense A Schism
(I work for a bookstore that sells bibles. We get a lot of interesting customers that call…)
Me: “[Bookstore], how may I help you?”
Customer: “Do you have the book of Chronicles?”
Me: “Do you want a commentary for it?”
Customer: “No. You know, the book of Chronicles that they talk about in the bible. Do you have that?”
Me: “…”
Customer: “Have you ever read a bible?”
Me: “Yes, I have…”
Customer: “Well, I’m looking for the book of Chronicles.”
Me: “Let me search our computer system and see if I can find something.” *I pretend to search the computer* “The only thing I can find is the actual books in the bible called first and second Chronicles.”
Customer: “Do y’all have that in the store? Where’s it at?”
(I pull a bible off the shelf and tell him the exact location of the books.)
Customer: “I’ve never seen that in any of my bibles.”
Me: “Sir, these two books have been in here for over 2,000 years.”
Customer: “Not in any bible I’ve read!”
(After the customer finally hung up, I asked my manager to shoot me.)
