Fount of all knowledge

Young man comes into the shop.

"I want to buy a book to learn stuff"

"What sort of Stuff"

You know .... I want a book to teach me things - can you recommend a book that will give me knowledge"

"Knowledge about what exactly ?"

"Oh everything ......I brought my mum a book for Christmas .. It was on Naturamony"

"Naturamony ?"

"You know - Bones and stuff"

"Ah, anatomy ..... Is she a nurse ?"

"No she works in a cafe... But i liked the pictures of bones and stuff.....

"Has she read it ?"

"She's looked at it... Don't think she's read it. ....... David Ike is good isn't he - he talks a lot of sense - who would have thought the royal family are all aliens"

"Well there are some who would question whether everything David Ike says is true"

"No its true, I saw it in a book - he says you have to wear blue to be safe from the aliens. Thats the sort of knowledge I want to learn"

"Ah sir, you will be needing our paranoid consipracy theory bollocks section then"

Hehe... its hard to belive some of this stuff is true! People are odd creatures! You should submit this stuff to the BBC... get your own sitcom!

LOL. David Icke. We have had such wonderful debates about him.

Anywho. Just as a matter of interest do you have a sign out the front of the shop that only psychos can see that says enter here?!?

I think they're just intuitively pulled there... maybe they sense a kindred spirit in Marc. Hehe...

It is is very odd that he gets so many. Maybe its just Salisbury in general, 'tis an odd town!

What's so attractive to weirdos about second hand bookshops?

Unknown said...
