This just happened, I swear to the Gods.
A guy comes in, grabs a roll of mini donuts and comes over and hands me a dollar. Then asks about the DH's Sherlock Holmes-style pipe sitting on display on the counter. Keep in mind this guy is probably mid-late 40's (could be even in his 50's) but is hard to tell because he doesn't have a hint of grey hair-it is all jet black and he has a full beard. I am 31 yrs old.
The following is the conversation:
Him: Can you special order pipes like that?
Me: I am sure you can but I would think you might have an easier time finding something on ebay or similar site. Possibly better pricing too if you're just starting out since you won't know if you will like it and the prices these pipes command are probably more than you would want to invest in right away.
Him: EBay? Do they have that on the computers at the library?
Me: (a bit confused) Um, eBay is a website on the internet.
Him: It is?
Me: (trying to be nice about this) Uh, yes, it is online.
Him: So they're connected all on one site?
Me: Yes.
Him: Ok thanks! When I was your age we didn't have computers like this. I have been doing a lot of reading and studying on computer technology, but there's so much to learn.
Me: Um yeah, I guess there is...
