Customers say the darndest things. Pretty much every day.
Herb conversation
Me: (pointing at unidentified herb) What is this?
Customer: I don’t know, my husband picked it out.
Me: (smelling herb, ringing up code) I think it’s sage. Does that sound right?
Customer: Ummm, it’s legal!
Halloween conversation
Me: (pointing to dozen roses) So, have you got a hot date tonight?
Customer: Yep.
Me: Halloween’s not much of a hot date night for most people…
Customer: Oh, Halloween’s a very romantic night…
Me: …I mean, with all the corpses and graveyards and stuff…
Customer: …it’s a real aphrodisiac.
*pause*
Me: You know, they passed a law against that in California.
Maybe I should pitch this show to Bill Cosby. Or that other old guy that used to do the show with kids. They got nothing on me.

… Mr. Rogers?
… dead..
Heh, reminds me of the lady that called me at the law office, and, despsite hearing me say “law offices” to her twice, proceeding to place a deli order and ask when she could pick it up. Customers are just silly.
er… yeah Zeke, I meant the original host of “Kids Say the Darndest Things.” Turns out it was called “House Party,” and the host was Art Linkletter. The fact that I looked that up indicates that I have way too much free time on my hands.
Yes, but Bill Cosby was the most famous. Besides, those kids were annoying. Being a kid is no excuse for being stupid.
