Saturday, shopping downtown at Banana Republic:
Roommate: Excuse me, do you sell braces?
Salesman, very young and very blond: Uh, braces?
Roommate: Yes, braces.
Salesman: ???
Roommate: Braces. Suspenders.
Salesman: Oh, like suspenders?
Roommate: Yes.
Salesman: Oh, I don’t know if we have them.
Pause
Roommate: You don’t know.
Salesman: Maybe over in belts?
Roommate, pointing to salesman’s nametag with a sarcastic smile on his face: OH, I’m sorry, I thought you WORKED here.
Roommate drops his smile, pauses a second and turning on his heals, walks away.
Salesman, pointing to his own name tag as well: ???????
Me: uncontrollable laughter, described as “cackle”.
