A listener, a listener, my kingdom for a listener!

The problem with being new on the job is that it takes quite a while to get to know one’s coworkers enough to know who will appreciate what joke. Today, there was a customer in the store who was the absolute spitting image of Wallace Shawn. I mean, I took one look at him, and I thought Vezzini from The Princess Bride had walked in. I wanted so dearly to point him out to someone and say, “Inconceivable!”, but I had no idea of who might actually get it.

So my joke went unsaid. Sigh.
