Figurative tickling

[tkpatience]

This thread is for funny stuff that tickles you more in a metaphorical way rather than actual physical tickling.

I'll start the thread with an anecdote.

I'm a cashier at a retail chain and yesterday (father's day) there were a ton of people that bought father's day cards. One particular customer asked for "a card pen which is specifically used to write on cards."

So I tell him that writing utensils are all in the stationary area.

He insists that there is a pen out there that specifically used to write on cards and that he didn't find anything in the stationary area to suit his card writing needs.

Like a good lackey, I asked the manager and he raises his eyebrows and holds up a Bic Pen. The customer gave up and says "well I guess I should go to a card shop to look for one."

The manager responds "Sorry about that. I've never even heard of that."

Yesterday was filled with customer curve balls. Is there an actual pen that is designed only to write on cards? Or a clothes iron that is travel-sized?

When I asked the manager about the ladder half he responded

"That's the stupidest question that anyone has ever asked me."



still laughing

I've heard of a travel-sized iron but never a card writing pen. It does make me want to invent something like, "Liquid for Drinking" though, or...

A knife made to only cut tomatoes

A piece of paper that is just for coming up with ways to sign your name on

A coin that's made just for tossing

Nail clippers meant just for fingers

An indoor Frisbee

A cigarette exclusively designed for left handed people

At my job we process rebates, and are always pointing out funny names of people (or angry letters). Top favorites include:
1. Harry Bean
2. Sandra Butts (aka Sandy)
3. Richard Glasscock
(seriously)

And a letter that was from a man whose rebate from the utility we could not process, the last line of which said "send me my check. Don't act like you don't owe me."


If anyone's name in RL is any of the above, sorry that i've been laughing @ you. In truth, I wish we were friends.

If only the pet rock weren't already invented 🙂

Wow. It's kinda funny that someone would right that last line in a letter. Glad you didn't have to be on the phone with that one.
