THIS GUY!!!

yesterday, i was stocking the deodorants. i had my arms full of stuff to put up. this man comes up to me, looks at me for a minute,and says,"i bet you are stocking the shelves, aren't you?"


im like," yep. sure am." he walks away laughing. left me kinda confused actually....

You missed your chance for a here's your sign moment!

[DGoddessChardonnay]

Really, you did miss that chance.

One reply could have been:

Nope, they all just jumped into my arms to hide from the sprays who were bullying them

Here's your sign

[Becks]

"Nah, I'm just setting up for a mock battle between Lady's Speed Stick and Secret, for the title of 'Master of the Universe'."

Ok, that seemed funnier in my head.

"Actually, if you don't rotate deodarant 45 degrees every day, it'll stop working right. so I'm just taking care of that." *look at him and scoot away a little.* "But, ah, not too many people know that. Here's your sign."

[Jester]

"No, I'm just really smelly, and it takes more deodorant for me than for most people."

[AFpheonix]

"They're mine, all mine! Preeeeeeessscccciiouuuuuusssss......."

It confuses me as to why he thought that was so funny. That's like walking up to someone who is sitting down and saying:

"Sitting, huh?"

"No, sir, I just put on the wrong Axe this morning."

"Nah. We're overdue on our gravity bill this month. Just catching a few that got loose...."

"You gotta be careful when you get a piece of deodorant food stuck in your vest...."

"Actually, I'm Michael Moore's personal shopper."

"Yeah. Stalking. And now she'll never smell me coming "

I've done stuff like that. In the right context, it's funny. But the person you're making the comment to has to know you well enough to understand that what you're saying is not inherently funny but funny because of the sheer ridiculousness of it.

Our store requires a uniform of khaki slacks and a polo shirt with the company logo. Standard retail attire. A short time ago, I approached a co-worker and said, "So I see you decided to go with the khakis today. Nice choice."

Maybe it's simply the question form that makes the "joke" not funny...

i thought it was funny becky. really, i did.

Thanks for finding it funny.
