A guy who looks like a frat boy circa Fernando's tenure at college comes into the store one day. He's got it all: polo shirt, wrap-around sunglasses, blonde highlights. Fernando had never seen him before.
“Hello,” Fernando greets him.
The guy seems surprised to find Fernando sitting at his desk behind the counter. “Oh, hey man.” He leans in conspiratorially. “Listen, you got any adult stuff for sale here?”
Fernando can play the sneaky-sneak game. “No, sorry to say,” he says in a low voice.
“Shit. You know where I could get some?”
“Family Video might have some, if you care to drive half an hour in any direction. If not, there's the adult bookstore up in Inuitland. Else the internet exists. It's sort of ubiquitous on there.”
“Alright. Cheers, man.” The stranger departs.
Hopefully the guy wasn't speaking in cryptograms about something considerably more nefarious than spank material.
LOL -- funny. :)
