My part time work is with retailing and you hear some crazy things from customers like I heard today while restocking shelves.
I turned towards an attractive lady about in her mid twenties.
(Start of joke)
Her:
"Sir, I'd like a screw. Four actually." (slight pause from her, then...) "They have to be self drilling."
(End of joke.)
It's a good thing I didn't hint about the humor of what she said. I might have been fired!
I was in law enforcement for 38 years and got some crazy questions and statements. My favorite was always, "I pay your salary, you have to do what I ask." In my later years on the job I got to the point where I had to respond for my own well being. Truth of the matter is that some number's crunchers did the math in our area and figured that each tax payer donated about .64 cents per year to run the police department. I went so far as to tell people that and offered to give it back to them.....My favorite response to the real pains in the back side was to tell them that I was happy to know that he (or She) paid my salary, I would now know to to ask should I need a raise. Of course I made some people angry, but they weren't that happy to begin with if they were telling me they paid my salary.
