I had stopped into my local Sam Goody last Saturday, and I asked
the fellow behind the counter;

Me: "Any news on the new Kate Bush album?"  (expecting him to look
                                             at me like I was speaking
                                             a foreign language.)
He: "Its not in yet."
Me: "Do you have any promo material you could play?"
He: "Yeah!  Its great!  I have it at home."
Me: [holding back my envy] "Well, I'll just have to stop in again.  Thanks."
[2 days later- I stop in to return a defective tape]
[and he's there again.]
Me: [explanation of tape deleted - reminds him of our Kate conversation.]
    "Did you bring that demo tape in?"
He: "No, I still have it at home."
Me: "Do you think if I give you a blank tape you could dub it for me?
     Its going to be out next week anyway."
He: "No, I'm sorry.  I can't do that."
Me: [jaw dropped]  "Why not?  Can I bribe you?"
He: "No, I'm afraid I can't do that."
Me: "Well....uhhh...thanks.....uh, anyway. [sigh]"

Hmph!                :->

Waiting,
Ken
