Shopping one week before Christmas.

I was considering purchasing an expensive pen for a friend of mine for Christmas. I went to several department stores since I thought this would be the best place to find a nice selection of pens. I was disappointed that none of the departments stores sold any pens—zero selection.

As I entered the perfume department at the entrance of the last store I checked, I told a department store woman in her early twenties that I was looking for pens. She asked me in a very serious tone of voice, "You mean one to borrow or to purchase?" I stated, "One to purchase," as I turned and walked away.
