A Little Beauty Humor

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart...
The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife.
'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,' he replies.
'Put them back, we can't afford them,' demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband.
'It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' replies the wife.
Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.'

On the PA system: 'Cleanup needed on aisle 25, we have a husband down.'

LOL Graphs

Found a reference to GraphJam in Stephen Abram's blog, and thought this particular graph really describes our telephone reference (only partly tongue-in-cheek). Just substitute "TELIS" for "Retail" and "reference questions" for "store products". Anyone care to create one for in-person questions?

Travel anecdote

I recently read the following true account in a discussion forum:

A tourist greets an employee working on a boat launch.
Tourist: Will this take me to the Transportation and Ticket Center?
Employee [pointing down to the dock]: This won't take you there, but the boat will.
