Well, in his ear anyway.
Background: We have some very special customers at my bookstore. One of them is N. N likes to call and order tons of books and asks us to hold magazines (they have to be in PRISTINE condition, because he's a COLLECTOR
) and then never picks them up, he calls and talks about the movies he's seen, asks us what movies we've seen and then doesn't stop talking long enough to hear an answer, asks the same question twelve times... He wastes tons of our time but buys just enough that we can't kick him out. He is polite enough but also speaks very condescendingly to the employees, which drives me crazy because N doesn't have a job and lives with his mother. I know this isn't a very good description but trust me, this guy is annoying as hell.
So he calls up yesterday to ask about some books, one of which was about disorganization and how being disorganized is not necessarily a bad thing. Then he said, with all seriousness:
"I am a genius and I am disorganized so maybe this book will help."
I couldn't help it, I laughed derisively.
The worst part? He heard over the phone and asked me why I laughed.
I made some lame excuse about messy people usually not admitting they are messy, and he bought it.
I felt kind if bad, but seriously.

We have been watching a lot of Stargate in our house lately and my husband has a big crush on Carter, so the new avatar is kind of a joke. I also noticed a couple other people here have Teal'c (I know I spelled that wrong...) and O'Neill avatars, so I figure I'll fit right in. Now all we need is a Daniel Jackson avatar and CS will ahve the whole SG-1 team!
