Stone Soup by Jan Eliot Sales Associate: Can I help you find something? Holly: I doubt it. SALE Holly: I need a sweatshirt. My mom says I should find one without any product or designer names. Sales Associate: Oh Holly: She says that by wearing that stuff I'm a pawn for corporate advertisers, rather than paying THEM for their clothes... Sales Associate: Hmm Holly: She says they should pay ME for being a walking billboard. Sales Associate: Good point. Holly & Sales Associate: HA HA HA HA HA Sales Associate: That's quaint. Is your mom from a foreign country? Holly: My mom's from another PLANET. SALE Val: The shuttle is leaving, unless you'd like to WALK back to our solar system.
Now this is really funny — Holly and the salesclerk having what they would see as a good laugh, and especially at Val’s expense, too.. :)
