The Joke Is Invisible To Him

(After seeing a funny image online, I decided to replicate it in our store. I hung up an empty clothes hanger from our art smocks behind the counter with a large sign reading ‘Invisible Cloaks, half price!’ Two teenage customers come up to the counter.)

Customer #1: *excitedly* “Hey! Is that a real invisibility cloak?”

Customer #2: *sarcastic* “Yes, it is.”

Me: *grinning ear to ear* “Sure is!”

Customer #1: “Why’s it half price?”

Customer #2: *incredulously looks at [Customer #1]*

Me: “Well, it’s slightly damaged on the hem.” *holds up imaginary edge* “See?”

Customer #1: “No? Where?”

Customer #2: “Are you for real?!”

Me: *bursts out laughing*

Customer #1: “What?”

(We stand looking at him for a good 10 seconds as the cogs turn.)

Customer #1: “OH!”
