Please Be A Prank, Please Be A Prank…

Customer: “I’m writing a book!”

Me: “That’s awesome!”

Customer: “I was told I could get some help here.”

Me: “Of course, we have plenty of books for aspiring writers.”

I take him over to the section.

Customer: “No, this isn’t what I was looking for.”

Me: “What did you have in mind?”

Customer: “Well, you work in a bookstore, so I thought I would tell you what happens and you would write it down and make it all… book-like, with sentences and stuff, and then you could sell it here, too.”

Me: “Uh…”

Customer: “So, it starts with a big powerful guy, and he has this sword…”

Me: “I… don’t think…”

Customer: “And he goes to a cave where there’s a dragon, and… Why aren’t you writing any of this down?”
