Just Grit And Bear It
(I go to my local superstore in search of sandpaper to fix a door frame. I spot an employee putting away groceries.)
Me: “Hi…where can I find sandpaper?”
Employee: *confused* “…Papaya?”
Me: “No, no. Sandpaper, for making things smooth.”
Employee: *confused* “Computer?”
Me: *giving up* “Thanks, I’ll try and find it myself.”
Employee: *sudden look of comprehension* “Shelf!”
