Here is a funny story - was to me anyway. I use to sell furniture. Hope no one is trying to figure me out because it's a true detail. One night I was at a grocery store and bought a magazine that was expensive, 5 or 6 dollars, that I had never purchased before, recipes. Took it to work the next day and drooled over the desserts with the other women.
That night, greeted a customer. This couple walked inside the door, barely, a few feet and looked embarrassed. I thanked them for stopping by and asked if I could help them. The husband said, No, not sure why we had even stopped. They were looking for an odd thing. I plopped down on the sofa in front, looked at them, and giggled. Told them I liked a challenge.
Well, the husband said they were looking for a ceramic dish, a cherry pie dish that looked like a cherry pie on top for a relative. They had gone to all the department stores and decided to stop at the furniture store, but knew we didn't sell dishes. I told them I had seen them for sale at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but not this time of year. Then I said that I had seen one recently, somewhere. Struggled to remember. Then I told them to wait and went to my cubicle and got the recipe magazine and flipped through the pages. There it was with a toll-free number for fast orders. They studied it and nodded. Went to tear the page out. He had his hand out, but the wife said, no, just to tell her where to buy it so it wouldn't damage my magazine. I tore the page out and told them that it so funny that it worth the damage.
Looked back at the guy waiting at the desk for the next customer. He was bent over double laughing. It was pretty funny. Laughter is good.
