.... because your brain IS that small.
Stupid Woman is interested in buying a filing cabinet.
SW: I just have one question.
Me: OK.
SW: Do you know if it'll fit in my car? In my trunk?
Me:
Let me think about this for a second......I have not the FOGGIEST idea what kind of car you have, let alone the size of its trunk. Presumably, you have been driving this car for a while, and have probably bought groceries and other such things in it before, and therefore should have SOME idea as to the cargo capacity. Yet - somehow, inexplicably - you don't, and turn to me, the All-Knowing Clerk, to divine the answer. I could tell you if it'd fit in the trunk of MY car - it won't - but unless you also have a Civic sedan, then that bit of info likely don't help.
On the other hand, that cavernous space in between your ears looks like it just might fit. Just don't squish that spitball on the floor; that's your brain.
Me: Well, I can get you the box measurements, then loan you a tape measure to check.
SW: Great!
In the end, it became a moot point because we were out of that particular file cabinet, and I ended up placing a delivery order for her.
