It's the wind whistling tween yer ears!
Another story here reminded me of the following a number of years ago.
I used to go to a local anime store in Tacoma Washington called the "Anime Cafe".
While browsing videos one day, a rather spaced out fellow wandered in and started poking around before striking up a conversation with the cashier. I was amused to see the following exchange:
CC: Captain Clueless
R: Dapper chap behind the counter
CC: Man, this is a nice store.
R: Thanks, we do what we can.
CC: Hey, if I buy something, can I get a discount?
(Incidently, everything in the store was already 15% off to begin with.)
R: Sorry, don't think so.
CC: Well man, this is a really nice store. The owner used to give me discounts all the time- Him and me are tight!
R: Really? You know Rick?
CC: Yeah! Do you know him?
R: He's me... And I've never seen you before in my life.
CC: ...
The look of puzzled wonderment on that dudes face was priceless. He quickly beat feet out the front door and we never saw him again.
