The following conversation took place an hour ago inside a Foot Locker store in my hometown: Me (after seeing a really cute White Soxs jacket): Excuse me but do you have the Cubs also? Sales Clerk: Well not right now but usually it doesnt take long for the Caps to arrive after we get the jackets. Me: Sorry but you got me wrong, I said the Cubs, not the caps. Sales Clerk: Oh, Im sorry. What are those? Me: A baseball team. Sales Clerk: Oh, ok, let me check the computer. Do you know where theyre from? Me: Chicago. Sales Clerk: Im sorry but youre probably mistaken because Chicagos baseball team is the White Sox. Me: Trust me. Theyre from Chicago. Sales Clerk: If you say so...Oh! Here they are! (Looking at the results on the computer). Chicago Cubs. You were right. Im so sorry its just that Ive never heard that name before and we usually get apparel from all the famous teams. When was the last time they won a championship? (The urge to flip him the bird and leave was almost overwhelming but in the end I settled for a: Nevermind! Thank you for your trouble.)
