Thinks Her Son Has A Halo

(An older woman comes into my store. Her son is looking for a particular game: ‘Halo 4’.)

Customer: “What’s in this game? Is there anything bad in it?”

Me: “It revolves around a futuristic space marine who has to fight aliens. It has a rating for blood and violence, but it isn’t showcased nearly as much as other popular titles.”

Customer: “What? I will never let my son play this! It will teach him how to kill people and hurt others!”

Me: “Well, I guess you can say that I’m a professional race car driver, and I’ve scored more home runs than anybody in the history of baseball.”

Customer: “What? What does this have to do with teaching my kids how to shoot guns?”

Me: “Well, I’ve played the latest NASCAR and Major League Baseball games. If what you’re saying is right, well then I should be capable of doing both.”

Customer: “Well… you’re… I…”

Me: *smiling* “Ma’am, your total is $65.16.”

(She ended up buying the game!)
