A Real Conversation on the Phone with a Customer This Morning...

Me: Thanks for calling Barnes and Noble, this is Craig. How can I help you?

Lady Caller: Yeah, is there any kind of book that has stuff about Paula Deen's life in it, not just recipes?

Me: I'm not sure, let me look in the computer. I know several of her cookbooks have little sections with biographical information in them.

Caller: Well, I don't want any of that biographical information stuff. I just want stuff about her life.

Me: Oh, ok. Well some of her cookbooks have stuff about her life along with the biographical tidbits.

Caller: Great, I'll take one of those.

HA! We used to have people at Starbucks say the craziest things. When ordering a Caramel Machiato they would order A Caramel Monte Carlo.

It is similar to the lyrics of the Steve Miller Band's "Big Ol Jet Airliner" which are often quoted (and always loudly) Big Ol Jet Had A Light On...
