Joking with customers

I like joking with customers. All right, I like joking with anybody. It makes the day go better, and, well, yeah, it's more fun.

An older gentleman came into the Shop yesterday wanting parts for his Electric Eel. He had the original receipt, showing that he had bought it off me Pops in 1992. He said he needed this, that, and the other thing to make repairs on the unit. He asked, clearing going for the funny, "So what is the warranty on these Eels?"

Sensing he was a bit of a joker, I replied, "Ohh, sorry, sir. The warranty expires after 25 years."

"I knew I should have come in two years ago!" he exclaimed. We both had a good laugh.

I like things like that.
