Thanks For Shopping At Empire Surplus

I work at a Military Surplus store. A customer comes in with a box containing a bunch of military paraphernalia.

Customer: “I’m helping my dad declutter, and I found all this old military stuff in a box in his garage. I was wondering if you could help me identify some of this stuff so I could sell it?”

Me: “I could tell you what that is right now.”

Customer: “Really? Wow, if you could, then you really know your stuff!”

Me: “That is an E-11 medium blaster rifle, and that is the military armor of an Imperial Stormtrooper. Have you seriously never seen Star Wars?”

Customer: “Those space movies? No, I watch mostly comedies. Why?”

Me: “This ‘military stuff’ you have here is replicas from Star Wars. They’re very cool, but I’d double-check with your dad before you try to sell any of this stuff.”

Customer: “Oh… okay.”

Me: “Wait a minute… did you think this gun was real?! And you just… walked into a store with it?”

Customer: *Walking out.* “I told you! I just watch comedies!”

How was that an explanation?
