Skinny-dippin' in a sea of Lee, I'd propose on bended knee...

So this chubby girl, probably around 15 with pink hair comes into the store. There's an older guy, looks like a father or dirty uncle, with her and she wants to see My Little Pony stuff. She's wearing a I  Hentai shirt. |

I feel distinctly prudish around kids anymore, and me nor my friends are anywhere near uptight. I find myself saying, "Aren't you way too young to be thinking about that kind of shit?" a lot anymore around my younger cousins when they wail about their problems.
There's something deeply unsettling about overhearing middle-school aged girls discussing blowjob techniques at the mall.

and she wants to see My Little Pony stuff Err....What kind of store do you work in exactly? Why would you even HAVE My Little Pony stuff? And if you do have this stuff, why you would be surprised at what kind of customers would come in?  |

Antique and collectible store. All of the My Little Pony shit is 20 years old now. Tried to get the Hentai-loving chicky to buy a My Little Pony Slumber Party pack, but $62 was too rich for her.

Is it your store (do you own it?)? That sounds like a great job actually (The "antiques" part I mean. Not the hentai).

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Do you ever get any nice pieces of McCoy pottery? I collect the bamboo-patterned flower pots.

We've got a whole booth upstairs with overpriced McCoy crap in it. Oh sorry. I'll look later when I get sick of not working. |

I don't see what you're complaining about. You are surrounded by beautiful objects which don't belong to you. Mysterious elderly ladies wearing red hats seek your counsel. And... in case no one knew... sometimes you get to carry HUGE pieces of expensive furniture up flights of steps... ALL BY YOURSELF! I'd kill myself for a job like that!  (actually I'd probably love working in an Antique shop... well, except for the dust... and the fact that not working at all seems to suit me) |

I think I'd prefer working in an antique shop over most other retail-type jobs. Having each item you sell be "unique" appeals to me for some reason I can't articulate.

The coffee shop that put me through college had an adjoined antique store. I got some really cool, wierd shit there for my reliquary. The best thing I ever found (FOR $10!) was an original pair of hoodwinks used by the freemasons.

I once found a fake holy grail used by the knights templar to hoodwink the freemason founders into thinking they'd be able to cure all disease.
That wasn't as funny as I wanted it to be. Nor as historically accurate. I'm exhausted.

I gave up on Bingo. Expensive! I kept losing my previously won Bingo money.
[edit] My dream job, however, outside of just wanting to be a pampered rock star, is to be Indiana Jones.
Being Indy probably isn't going to happen, so Antiques seems like the more down-to-earth option. At least I can still have adventures doing that (albeit, in my head).

My band used to practice across the street from a bingo hall. We'd send one of our friends out to collect money from grandmas who were parking in our parking lot.

Are you sure you want to start a new job? Sounds like you are living the perfect life now! Naps and booze and video games, oh my! I need to win the lottery so I can make this a reality for me. |

Don't be so sure. When you win the lottery your name goes in the paper and everyone bugs you for money. I think you'd be much better off running a blackmail business. |

I nice big chunk of change to upgrade my home and car, play all the poker tournaments I want, and generally take it even easier than I do now. I have no problems telling people begging for money to go fuck themselves. I can even it do it more profanely and creatively- I have been learning at Haemish's knee for years now  |

My voodoo is far too powerful for the Mormon boys. I tell them I'm Jewish and they run for the hills.

Diamond is not the first one to advance that hypothesis. Joseph Campbell made a series of very interesting observations correlating geography and nomadic vs. agrarian cultures influenced by geography.
But I must have misunderstood the reference since Diamond's book has nothing to do with masonry. :)
