"A customer approaches our counter in the bookstore with a blank look on his
face.

Customer: “So… all these books are about stuff?”

I blink. I process.

Me: “Uh… we have a lot of books about lots of different things! Were you
looking for anything specific?”

Customer: “Yeah… I need a book that’s about stuff, like, you know… things.”

I blink again. This customer doesn’t appear to be high.

Me: “What things would that be, sir?”

Customer: “Like when things… happen? And then… yeah.”"
