Random funny in OD

I posted about this on Twitter and Facebook*, but it’s too good not to share here.

I was wondering round charity shops today, looking to see what books they had. (Admittedly, I was looking for The Catcher in the Rye in particular. The opening was used for an exercise in my creative writing class on Monday and it reminded me how damn good it is and made me want to re-read it.)

Anyhoodle, while looking through the books in one, someone came in and walked up to the counter. The following took place:

Bloke: Do you have any free umbrellas?

Assistant: Sorry, we don’t.

Bloke: This is a charity shop, you’re supposed to do that sort of thing.

He then left. The assistant burst out laughing and, after being assured that the incident actually dud happen, said she should have pointed out that it’s a charity shop and he’s supposed to give them stuff.
