    I really wish you had this shoe in bone

    Older lady comes in, tells me she is looking for a comfortable heel, about an inch and a half high, in bone or beige.

    I show her a shoe that meets her needs perfectly, in bone.

    "Oh this shoe is perfect, and so comfortable, but it's white."

    "It's a lighter bone, yes, but, *holds white shoe next her her clearly bone shoe* see, this other one is white. Yours is bone."

    "Do you have it in bone? I don't want white."

    I tried to show it to her under the natural skylights out in the mall, but she still insisted it was white. Oh well!

    I remember working at Payless, where there were 10 shades of bone. If it was remotely light beige, they slapped the bone label on it. I think what she really wanted was taupe.

      "It's bone-white, ma'am."

        Of course she wanted bone. She was a bone-head.
        Customers should always be served . . . to the nearest great white.

          That's humerus. Any more puns with the patella of humor we have?

                  I'll make no bones about it; humans have different perseptums and different vernankler for different collars. But to ask a fashion professional for their help and then ignore it makes me want to cuss incus. I don't want to carpal on about this, but a simple, "No thanks" would have been enough. Ah well, you just gotta watch them lumbar out of the store and chalk it up to being in the cervical industry.

                            This would be a much better story if she wanted shoes that were actually made out of bone.
