The Female Of The Species Is More Playful Than The Male
(Our store has a name that could easily be that of an adult establishment. I happened to be in the back room when a customer calls.)
Me: “[Store Name], how may I help you?”
Caller: “Yeah, do you have any male toys?”
Me: “‘Mail’ as in toys that go in the mail, or toys for boys?”
Caller: “Toys that go in the mail.”
Me: “Well, we have a toy that can be sent like a postcard, otherwise—”
Caller: “No, not toys that go in the M-A-I-L, toys that go in the M-A-L-E!”
Me: “Uh… we sell children’s toys.”
Caller: “Oh, oh darn! We’re looking for adult toys!”
(The customer yells to someone not on the line.)
Caller: “Hey Billy, they don’t have ’em!”
Me: “Good luck in your search!”
(I am very glad it was me who answered, and not my younger, more innocent coworker!)
