Tales from the Record Store Guest Blogger

Second Hand Tunes, Hyde Park, spring afternoon

Customer, wearing trenchcoat, polyester dress slacks and white tennis shoes, enters the store

Clerk: Can I help you?

Customer: Yeah, do you guys buy used tapes?

Clerk: Sure, what do you have?

Customer begins searching through his trenchcoat pockets for the tapes.

Customer: You know, I've been having trouble finding things since my bird died.

Clerk stares at him.

Customer reaches into another pocket and pulls out a dead pigeon with its head flopping. Out of the other pocket he pulls out a cassette, without a case, and sets it on the counter.

Clerk: Get that tape and your bird out of here!

Business as usual....



...tip of the hat to Cynthia!
