A near miss

*Ring ring*

Good morning, thank you for calling Lanius' Lair of Lechery.
A woman's voice greets me. "Hi. Do you have 'A History of Violence' with Viggo Mortensen?"
Oh dear. Ma'am, you know how it mentions "video" in the store listing? I think you've perhaps skipped over an adjective or two preceding that particular noun. Right Family, wrong Genus. The sick bastard part of my personality causes me to contemplate for a split-second telling her that we actually have a copy just to see the look on her face when she strolls in and understanding dawns on her. Uh... Noooo. Not going to perpetrate a potentially mortifying lie on some pleasant sounding lady who had the misfortune to dial the wrong flavor of store. I am a professional.
"Oh darn."
Have a great day.
