Old Man Invasion

Old Man - May I ask you a question?

Me - Of course!

OM - Why do you use the world N--ger in here?

Me- ...I'm sorry, what?

OM - Why do you use that?

Me- Are you meaning me personally? Because I don't believe I have said that word once.

OM - No, in the art. The cups guy.

Me - *stares at him simply because we have no "cups guy" art* Ummm...Well if its in the art, I would have to say its the artist's choice.

OM - Its offensive and I should walk you back to show you. Please remove it now.

Me - I can't do that sir. Would you like to fill out a comment card?

I finally convince him to fill out a comment card when his wife comes up and looks at what he's writing. She blinks then says.  "That's not what it said! It said Ninjas!" And dragged him out.

Old Man #2 - I'd like to tell you something.

Me - Of course.

OM2 - I would have enjoyed the tour if your guards didn't talk.

Me - Oh I'm sorry.

OM2 -There should never be talking in here.

Me- Here's a comment card, sir.

Old Man #3 - Excuse me. Can I ask you something?

 Me -  *getting wary now of saying it*... Of course.

OM3 - What is wrong with the palm trees outside?  Everything is so brown!

Me - Well, we're in a severe drought right now. The state has ordered water rations. Unfortunately that makes our palm trees suffer since we can't use our sprinklers as freely as before.

OM3- So what can we do about it? You really should water it more often.

Me - Well unfortunately we can't until the water rations are off.

OM3- So what can we DO about it? Can I water it for you?

Me- ...Unfortunately you can't . The state is in water rations now. Watering it won't help the state out with the drought.

OM3- That one tree is really brown.

Me- I understand that. Its a shame.

OM3 - So what can we DO ABOUT IT.

Me -... Know any rain dances?
