true customer tales

guy comes in to pick up a copy of Doctor Zhivago we were holding.

Guy, after I hand him the book:
OOOOOOhhh, that's thicker than I wanted! OOooooh!

me:
mmmm.

Guy, leafing through skeptically:
Well, it won the NOBEL, so it must be worth reading!

me, attempting to get in the spirit:
and they made a movie out of it!

Guy:
You ever read it?

me:
Nope. The movie was good.

Guy, setting it down and digging for his wallet:
Well, it won the NOBEL.
