“Hello, Quimby’s.”
“Yeah, I got a question about this Sawzall you got on up your websi-”
“Sawzall? I think you have the wrong number.”
“This the Quimby’s on North Ave?”
“Yes, bookstore. No hardware.”
“I got the right Quimby’s. I want a Sawzall like the ones you got on your website.”
“You’re on the website now? What does the page say?
“It says Sex Machines on it I want one of those.”
“Yeah, see, it’s a book with pictures of sex machines. We sell the book with the pictures, not the machines.”
“‘Oh. You don’t sell the machines..? Then where do I get the Sawzalls at?”
“For a sex machine? I don’t know. Not here. Try Myopic.”
“You sell the attachments?”

Phone: Ring! Ring!
Me: Hello, Quimby’s.
Caller: Can you tell me if you have something in stock?
Me: Of course, what are you looking for.
Caller: I want a tin piggy bank that says, “I’m saving up for knitting lessons!”
Me: Ah, no, miss. I am afraid we don’t carry tin piggy banks that say things.
Caller: [Exhales] Guess I will have to keep looking. Thank you.
Me: Good luck!
