[GWL]: Idiotic questions
Reading these brings back fond memories of my days as a perennial
specialist in a garden centre. My favourite:
One day, a gentleman with a very heavy accent said that he wanted to buy
all my ponies and what kind of special price could I give him? I tried to
get him to clarify the question, and couldn't for the life of me think of
any equine connection in my department. Finally, I asked him to show me,
and he led me to the bench of peonies.
Another memorable one: "What kind of flowering shrubs can I plant on my
septic bed to bloom in time for my daughter's wedding?"
Also thanks to Doug for making this former book editor laugh out loud.
Cheers,
Carol
