More Than One Chimp By The Name Of George
(I am working on putting items on a display rack and a customer comes up to me.)
Me: “Hi, can I help you?”
Customer: “Do you know George?”
(I am thinking she is asking if someone named George works here.)
Me: “George who?”
Customer: “You know, the George.”
Me: “George? George Bush, George Foreman? George… who?”
Customer: “You know the George.”
(At this point, the customer puts her hands up to her armpits and starts acting like a monkey.)
Me: *trying not to laugh* “Do you mean Curious George?”
Customer: “Yes! Yes, The Curious George… Do you have him?”
Me: “No, I’m sorry we don’t have any Curious Georges.”
Customer: “Okay, thank you!”
