    I used to sell books and this elderly couple came up to the counter saying they were buying it as a Christmas present.

    So I told them “Hey, it’s not my place to say what is or is not a good Christmas present, but before I sell it to you, could I get you to just flip the pages, randomly stick your finger in, and start reading?”

    They thought I was kidding, but they did it…

    “OH MY GOD!”

    “Yeah…”

    “OH MY GOD!”

    Better they find out then than AFTER I sold it to them!
