the boomeranger

there are moments when i get slapped by the reality of living and working in tinsel town...

me: "hi, i really like that scarf you are wearing."

customer: "thank you. have you heard of the clothing brand michael stars?"

me: "yes, of course."

customer: "i'm michael."

great. nice to meet you, michael. if you need anything i'll just be standing right over there reading the newspaper everytime my manager retreats into the back room.
