Do you have time? I want you to sell my husband your stuff.

My roommate knocks on the door at 10:30pm.

"Come in."

"The neighbor is at the door for you."

"Yeah right, whatever, who is it?"

"It's the neighbor seriously, just come talk to her." the roommate coaxes.

"You told her I was home? Jesus!"

So I go to the door, peer through the hole. She was HIDING from the peephole, I didn't see her until she startled me, popping up like Kramer in my field of vision.

I open the door, "Hello?"

"Hey, do you have time right now to help me out?" she implores.

"Depends, what did you need?"

"I want you to sell my husband your stuff." she states rather bluntly.

"Sell him my stuff?" I ask in extreme disbelief, trying to keep a straight face.

"You know, he's home right now so come and sell him your stuff, you know."

"Huh?" I'm thoroughly confused now.

"He's home but you have to come over and sell him your computer parts."

"I have company over right now, it's not a good time." I say, thinking of a way to duck out.

"Well are you free this weekend, could you come over and sell to him then?"

"No, I have plans this weekend." I say honestly.

"Okay, well maybe next week then? Because I really... Really... want... A COMPUTER."

"Uh we'll see."

She starts turning away, then like a zombie from a horror flick, she swings back around, "OH and do you have any of those fax things?"

"A fax machine?"

"No, cartridges like for the ink," she replies, completely oblivious to the technology behind the machines, "so that I can fax people things." Oi. I guess she really doesn't get it.

"You'll have to go to a store for those," I reply "It wouldn't make much sense for me to stock them."

"Oh okay, just make sure you talk to my husband, and sell him on a computer." Then she prances off down the hall.

My girlfriend pops her head out from around the corner and I start laughing. She can't stop giggling and neither can I. I'm a discount supplier, I don't "sell", people buy from me because they know they're getting a good deal. Fax machines don't need ink to send faxes.

Grammar anyone?
