Next, He’ll Want The Gray’s Sports Almanac: 2000-2050
Customer: “Can I get the Sunday paper?”
Me: “It’s Saturday night, sir. The Sunday paper comes out tomorrow morning.”
Customer: “Oh, but I wanted to see it now. I will be busy tomorrow.”
Me: “Sorry, sir, there’s nothing I can do.”
Customer: “Do you have any spares in the back?”
Me: “No… sir. I didn’t sell out; I haven’t received any because it literally doesn’t exist yet. They’ll come out tomorrow, on Sunday, because it’s the Sunday paper.”
Customer: “Oh. Is that why they call it that?”
Me: “Pretty much.”
Customer: “Well, that’s stupid. What if I wanted to read it today?”
Me: “They’re not time travelers, sir.”
Customer: “Well, they should figure it out! It’s very inconvenient!”
