Accosted at Blockbuster

Such was the scene at Blockbuster on a Saturday night, not so long ago...

Innocent Man and Wife wandering through movie isles in search of nothing in particular, when Tall-Over-Zealous-Female-Employee approaches:

TOZFE: Hi! I'm Kat, can I help you find something?
Wife: Perhaps, if I knew what I wanted, but right now I am just looking...
TOZFE: Well, what kind of movie are you looking for, I can help you find something!!!
Wife: Something funny.

At this point the Man ABANDONS his WIFE!!!

TOZFE: Well, do you like dirty funny or dark funny?
W: (thinking to herself... do I look like the kind of person that would like either of those options???) Neither.
TOZFE: Oohhhh. I don't know of any good funny movies. JOSH!! (yelling across the store) Do you know of any good witty/smart funny movies??

Man smirking at predicament Wife is in and relieved that he managed to escape.

W: Thank you for your time, I am sure I will find something (turns to walk away).
TOZFE: Oh Wait!!! I have the perfect movie! But first, I have to ask if you are like one of those super-religious people? 'Cause this might offend those people. It is a weird question, I know, but I just like have to ask.
W: Ummm...
TOZFE: Well, anyway... You should watch this one. (Handing Wife Saved). I mean, most people don't like Mandy Moore, but it is funny... I think she is like Catholic or something... well she is just super-religious and then she gets pregnant by a gay guy and well, you should watch it. And......

Man practically laughing at his poor defenseless Wife.

W: (Taking the movie, just hoping to get her to stop!) Thanks, I'll check it out.

Man & Wife reunite and leave Tall-Over-Zealous-Female-Employee talking to anyone who will listen.

Man: See what happens when you talk to those people!?
W: YES, I won't ever again! Here! (Handing over Saved). Ditch it, and let's get out of here before she catches us!

Man & Wife leave store without Saved and manage to escape with out more trouble.

Moral of Story: Always look down when at movie store and talk only to those you with which you came.

ROFLOL - HA HA HAHA! Oh my! That's why those 5 oh so great words were invented, "No thanks. I'm JUST looking."

sales people are obnoxious, but she was right about one thing... "Saved" is hilarious.
