I had to run the wife to one of the local strip malls this morning for a few things. When we left one of the shops I notices a Sally's was next door, so I thought I'd grab a bottle of Master Bay Rum as I just ran out. I grabbed a bottle and put it up on the counter to check out. the conversation the went like this:
clerk "Bay Rum huh?"
me "yep, good stuff"
clerk " you know it doesn't actually contain real rum"
me " yeah, I know. why do you say that?"
clerk "its just.. well... um..."
me "did you think I was buying this to DRINK it?"
clerk "well, I don't know, maybe"
I wasn't sure how to react to that. I just gave her the money and left. very weird...
