I Shall Retire to the Nerdery

Yesterday I went to the store – the comic book store – and I purchased a few issues of Batman.

I paid with my debit card and when the clerk handed me the receipt he said, “I’ll just need your John Hancock.”

In my best Chris Farley voice I said, “It’s Herbie Hancock.”

He just stared at me with a blank look on his face.

Me: “Haven’t you see “Tommy Boy” with Chris Farley?”
Clerk: “No.”

I scooped up my Batman comics and promptly left.

Yes, that’s right. I out nerded the clerk working at the comic book store.

I hope that my humiliation can bring a smile to your face. Have a great weekend everyone.

    Wait. Don’t answer that.
