polygamy + video games? huh?

so captain of the chess team comes in. he has his pants pulled up to his nipples and he has your classic nerd screechy voice. big thick glasses, you know, the works.

well he come in i greet him, ask him if there is anything i can help him find, but he doesn't even look at me so i move on to the next customer. after a while he comes back up to me and asks

"Do you have any final fantasy games"

"yes we do right over here, any specific one you are looking for?"

he doesn't even answer but instead opts to talk to himself.

"final fantasy games are awesome, ever other game sucks, final fantasy rules."
etc etc

he continues to browse the selection of final fantasy games while continue to work on a project i had going. the phone rings so i answer it. normal conversation, "do you have this?", "yes we have this", you get the picture. when the call ends, i end it with my usual "alright, bye". but the work "alright" caught the attention of captain chess man.

"Did you just say Allred?"

"um...no, i said alright"
this answer didn't phase him...

"Did you just say Allred?"

"no, i said alright"

"oh, because Allred is me"

i try to be nice.
"oh, that would be weird if i said your name. especially when i was on the phone with someone else."
I get a blank stare for a second and then he continues browsing.
After a few more minutes he finishes picking the games he wants (surprise, surprise, to separate final fantasy games on ps1.) and brings them to the counter.

"Do you want to know why i asked you if you said my name?"

"Sure, humor me."

"Because my name comes from a long line of polygamists. i thought you were calling me a polygamist"

...........what?

"um, actually i had no idea that the name Allred was in any way associated with polygamist."

"yeah right! everyone knows that Allred is a polygamist's name! you're just trying to play it off!"

"well, actually i had no idea until you mentioned it, but i will keep that in mind from now on. thanks for the tip."

he gave me the money, got his receipt, and left. I'm sure he was off to go show off his new final fantasy game to one of his 7 moms....
