Hah! “Those Books Can Be Killer To Finish” (at Not Always Right)
(I’m the customer in this situation:)
Me: “I’m looking for a copy of Les Mis and I found several different copies from different publishers. What do you recommend?”
Staff Member: “Well, it depends. Do you want a smaller-size copy that’d fit in your purse so you can take it anywhere?”
Me: “Well… the print in those can get pretty tiny… Actually, I’m looking for a book hefty enough to kill someone with.”
Staff Member: “…”
Me: “Sorry.”
Staff Member: “In that case, I suggest Tolstoy or Proust.”
