Monkey See, Butt What Did Monkey Do?
I work for a major pharmacy chain. We sometimes get calls from manufacturers and distributors to add products to our system.
Caller: “So, the item code is [code].”
This is strange, normally they just tell me the name.
Me: “Okay, but it’s easier if I just start with the name of the product.”
Caller: “Do we have to?”
Me: “…yes?”
Caller: “Okay, but I’m just reading what I have here in front of me.”
Me: “Okay?”
Caller: “Monkey butt powder.”
We both pause to laugh.
Me: “That’s okay. Last month I had to type in ‘Better Than Sex Mascara’.”
