This Happened At The Bookstore

Customer says, "Excuse me? Do you have The Game?"

"Neil Strauss? The one about how to pick up girls?"

"Yes."

"It's in Community & Culture."

I lead him over there.

Customer says, "I'm getting it for my buddy for Christmas. I was trying to decide whether I wanted to buy him The Game or an escort. I figured an escort was too expensive."

"You know what they say; Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime."

Only later do I realize how inappropriate that is.

LOL. I read that book about two years ago. I've noticed that it's been mis-interpreted by nearly half of it's readers...

How do you mean "misinterpreted?" Elaborate. I'm curious.
