Last weekend I was in the tools section as Sears looking for a socket to fit over my finger to use as a slide on a uke and CBG. The guy in the department was retired and working at Sears on the weekend to keep himself busy (found that out after). He definitely wasn't a retired rocket scientist.
So.. he is watching me go to every socket on the wall and stick my finger in it, and working my way down the socket wall one by one. He has no clue what I am doing so he walks over after about 2 minutes of watching me and says "Can I help you" and I said "Yeah, I need a slide".
He stares at me and says "I think you want to go to the outdoor section". I looked at him and said "Can't I get a slide for indoors?" He said "I am not sure it will fit inside". I then asked, "Is the outdoor section where I'll find a slide that fits my finger?" He got totally confused and said, "Well, I am not sure about your finger but your butt will fit in it just fine".
I busted up laughing, and explained to him what a "slide" was. He clearly didn't know anything about music as he was intrigued that a socket makes a great instrument accessory.
Funniest shopping experience in a long time!
