There’s Madness In The Methodist
(I’m working a pumpkin sale at our church. All proceeds go to “mission work,” which is hunger relief in town and in Haiti, providing poor students at local schools with needed supplies, and Habitat for Humanity. We sell about two tractor-trailer loads a season at slightly higher than regular retail and do a lot of good work with the proceeds.)
Customer: “You’ve got such great pumpkins here!”
Me: “Thank you, we’re proud of our patch. What can I help you with?”
Customer: “Well, I like to make brandy out of pumpkins, so I’d like you to give me a discount on a big batch.”
Me: “Let me get this straight: you’re at a charity pumpkin sale at a church, and you’d like a moonshiner’s discount?”
Customer: *leaves in embarrassed silence*
