not very good at that reading thing are you?

this kids calls constantly, always wanting some tony hawk game. he finally decided to come in today and get it.
the store opens at 11:00 AM, he is in at 11:05 AM, so he is the first person i get to see.
he walks in and like a homing missle goes right for his beloved tony hawk. but he does not come up to the register, instead he begins to wander the store. in the conor we have our defective system display (that i've mentioned earlier), has a big sign that says "Defective systems $5, xboxs $10 (not-returnable) *These systems DO NOT WORK*" call me crazy, but i thinks thats pretty clear as to what it means.
so our local tony hawk fan movesover to the defective system display. he stands there for (no joke) 5 mins stareing at the display. he then looks up at me and asks, "umm...do these systems work?"
i reply,"You mean those systems right there?"
tony hawk fan: "yeah..."

me: "you mean those systems right there with the big sign that says defective systems?"

tony hawk fan: "umm...yeah...."

me: "you mean those systems right there with the big sign that says these systems DO NOT WORK?"

tony hawk fan: "umm...yeah..."

me: "i'm about %100 positive that they DO NOT work."

tony hawk fan: "really?"

me: "really really."

he then wandered around the store some more asking even more stupid questions like "how much is this?" and i wouldn't even answer but just point to the price tag, he'd get a really confused look on his face and go back only to repeat the process 30 seconds later.
he finally left. and then it hit me; i have the rest of the day to look forward to.......ugh
