Lea Thompson Needs To Be Very, Very Afraid
(I work in a large bookstore. We have a large section of coffee table books, mostly art and photography. A customer approaches me.)
Customer: “Do you have any coffee table books on famous actresses?”
Me: *thinking of icons such as Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe* “Well, we might have some. Are you looking for something specific?”
Customer: “YES! I would very much like to have a richly illustrated book about the actress who played the mother in Back to the Future! Do you have that?!”
Me: “Erm… Sorry, we don’t have any illustrated books on her…”
Customer: “Oh, what a shame. I would love to have a book on her…” *wanders off* “A fine, fine lady!”
