thehefnerA customer brings me a book to ring up. It would be business as usual... except I can't find the price anywhere on the book.
ME: (flipping the book around everywhere looking for the price) Hrrm? Hmmm... rrr?
CUSTOMER: Hey, I guess that's free, huh?
ME: RRRRARRRGH! No. (continues searching and grunting) Rrr... a-HA! Fifteen ninety-five. Forgive me, when I can't find the price I turn into the Frankenstein monster.
CUSTOMER: Gotcha.
ME: Money goooood. Fire bad!
CUSTOMER: I just don't want you turning green on me or anything.
ME: No, no, I'm the gray Frankenstein monster. Back from when he originally appeared.
CUSTOMER: Ahhh, so you're the Frankenstein monster from before they refined printing techniques.
This, my friends, is why I love working at the comic shop.
(NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT: The Hulk was originally gray before he was green. This was because the cheap printers in those days couldn't generate the proper green for the Hulk's skin. After a few issues, he did soon become the Jade Giant we know and love so well.)
Now if I can only find a girl with whom I can have conversations like this, I'll be set. That, and a book deal. And a job in a professional theater troupe. And ultimate power. But comic geek girl first and foremost.
