Secondhand stories of stupid!

These two anecdotes were provided to me by a friend who works in my store's high-end home theater department, and they were just so hilariously stupid I had to share with the rest of you. :D

Story 1: Back in the high-end TV department, there is a video clip running on the TVs as a demo. It is a clip of penguins from some documentary. My friend said an old lady came in, looked at the TVs, and asked why they were black and white. (My friend reminded her that penguins are usually black and white animals.)

Story 2: The high-end department is called Magnolia. It is labeled with a very large sign naming it "Magnolia Home Theater". Seriously, the text for "Magnolia" has to be at least 3 feet tall. My friend was leaving to go home, and passed 2 teenage girls standing outside the department. One was on her phone, announcing to someone, "Yeah, I'm outside the MONGOLIA department!"

My friend started cracking up as he walked away, and was told later by another coworker that one of the girls asked why he was laughing, as it clearly says "Mongolia" on the wall. XD
