Overheard.

(A distinguished elderly (65+) gentleman walks into my store.)

Linds: Hello! How are you today?

EG: Hello, I'm well, thank you. Do you have rechargable batteries?

Linds: Yes, they're right over there. (points at wall behind her.)

EG: Oh, Thank You!

Linds: (trying to determine what to recommend, and if it's for a digital camera.) What do you need the batteries for?

EG: (matter of factly) Oh. A vibrator.

Me: (momentarily stunned silence. Mouth slightly agape. Blink a few times.) Oh... Yeah! The Nickle Cadmium or Lithium Ion's are the best for that.

EG: Thank-you!

(Distinguished but kinky elderly man purchases C batteries)
