You Know Where You Can Stick That?
I’m answering the phone.
Customer: “I’m looking for horn sticks.”
Me: “I’m sorry?”
Customer: “They’re little pieces of wood my kid puts in his mouthpiece.”
Me: “Do you mean the instrument called the horn, or are you using ‘horn’ as a generic term for a wind instrument?”
Customer: “Nah, he plays horn.”
I puzzled over it and talked to the customer for a long time, asking many follow-up questions, until the customer finally asked the kid. He needed saxophone reeds.
