Quote of the Day: Weird Things Customers Say in Book Stores
From the book, edited by Jen Campbell:
customer: I need A Few Good Men by Joe Steinbeck.
bookseller: Do you mean Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck?
customer: No, I said A Few Good Men.
bookseller: The movie?
customer: No. It's a classic book! Steinbeck.
bookseller: I don't see that here by him. But he did write Of Mice and Men.
customer: What? Just show me where to find his books.
[later]
customer: Here it is. Of Mice and men. Right there on your shelf.
