This Bookstore Scene Written by Salvador Dali

I just had the most surreal exchange of my life. The customer at the bookstore who asked these questions was completely sincere:

Customer: Are you going back to Egypt after you're done today?
Me: I beg your pardon?
Customer: Are you going back to Egypt?
Me: Uh, I've never been to Egypt, so it really wouldn't be going back...
Customer: Oh, I thought you were Egyptian.
Me: No, sir, I'm half Italian.
Customer: (beat) You're Eye-talian?!
Me: Yes, sir.
Customer: Ohh. (pause) Do you have any books on Catholicism?

I love people.
