Yes, but is it a BATTERY???
Hi folks. I don't have much to write about today, but I thought this was kinda funny.
Saturday morning, Emily and I were passing a store called "Batteries Plus". Being the crazy mom that I am, I dared her to go in and ask if they sold....batteries. So she did. The guy wasn't amused, but I was. Much giggling ensued. Well worth the dollar she asked for in exchange for being my puppet. (I love that my kids have a crazy sense of humor like mine.)
It would have been really funny if he said, "No, we don't sell batteries here." I like it when people play along. Wasn't gonna happen with this guy.
But, I did actually need some batteries, so while I'm at the register, his co-worker is helping another customer. The conversation went like this:
Battery guy: "Can I help you find something sir?"
Customer: "Um, yeah, can you take a look at this? I'm not sure what I need for it."
Battery guy: "Sure. Is it a battery?"
Customer: "Well I'm not sure. It needs something, I'm just not sure what."
Battery guy: "Yes, but is it a BATTERY? That's what we have here, sir. BATTERIES!"
Beligerent battery boys with no sense of humor. Absolutely made my day.

Yeah, I guess I could see that. :)
You should have asked the guy for a capacitive storage device. So is anyone going to post something about a bitter battery beetle battle in a puddle?
This guy was too young to be hot, plus he had a bad attitude.
Welcome back Sarah! We missed you.
I'm swearing off boys for a while, ripply muscles and all. Need to focus on my writing and my comedy.
Next time, take your vibrator with you and tell him you need new batteries for your telephone...I'm sure the look of confusion is worth a thousand evil giggles...
I might have to try that. :)
there's a sketch on a comedy show called 'Big Train' about a ball shop.
Customer: Hi, do you sell balls (as a joke)
Clerk: No, no we dont. (serious)
Customer: Haha... ha... erm.. no seriously can I buy a ball?
Clerk: Sorry sir, I can't help you.
(30 seconds of confused looks... customer leaves)
Clerk: (looks around realises) Shit! NO Wait! ... Duh!! .....
funny
