Only Your Pen Required
(I work in an office where I assist clients with their paperwork. I am helping a male customer complete some forms.)
Me: “All right. Now, we just need you to sign this form at the bottom here, and we’re done.”
Customer: “What was that?”
Me: *trying to be friendly* “Just sign here, please. We need your John Hancock.”
Customer: “John Hancock?”
Me: “Uh, yes. You know, your signature? Like the guy who signed the Constitution.”
Customer: “Oh! You want me to sign it. Okay! You know, the first time someone asked me for my John Hancock, I thought they were talking about my…” *he gestures to his groin*
Me: *quickly* “Oh… oh! No, no, sir! We just need your signature and that’s all!”
Customer: *laughing* “Yeah, I was pretty confused!”
Me: *quickly wrapping up his paperwork and not wanting to hear how that story ended* “Yes, sir. Well, you’re all done here. Have a great day!”
