So yeah, working in retail with two X chromosomes leads to some interesting conversations. This one is a real gem.
So I'm doing a stint selling replica sculpture in a mall store. This guy walks in, easily about twice my age. Now picture it; about 350 lbs, french blue button-down shirt, khaki trousers, dark brown belt with matching shoes, close-cropped hair cut, and black plastic glasses. Seriously, early Drew Carry on an eating binge.
He starts meandering the store and I go over to be my usual friendly and knowledgeable self. He asks a couple questions about some random stuff, all very innocent, then he spots our statue of Moses. It's the one of him sitting on the throne and due to an odd translation a lot of representations from this period have him with little light horns instead of a full halo. He asks if this is a statue of a demon.
Me:
CG: Creepy Geek
Me: *smiles* No *proceeds to explain.
CG: Oh. Well, do you have any sculptures of demons?
Me:Actually, we kind of do. *Points him to Michael Banishing Lucifer*
CG: No, that's not really what I'm looking for... Hey, have you seen that episode of The X Files where they go into the wax sex dungeon and there are all the cages with wax sculptures of women in leather bondage gear in them?
Me: *Being open minded yet more than a bit disgusted because it's a really freaky episode* Actually, yes I have and no, we have nothing like that here. We're just a replica store in the mall.
CG: Oh. Thanks... Hey, do you wanna go out sometime?
Me: *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!* Um...no. Thanks.
