One day, there was a staff meeting between the video department employees and some of the managers. First on the agenda: How to improve slumping sales. The manager running the meeting asked for suggestions, and I raised my hand. "We could start carrying porn", I said.
Everyone looked at me in disbelief, I continued. "Come on, think about it, people love porn. Why wouldn't you want to be able to grab dinner and a nice porno tape all under the same roof?"
Brad, one of the managers, didn't seem to appreciate the idea. "Yeah Mike, we'll start carrying porn. While we're at it, why not just hire some hookers to start turning tricks in the deli?"
"Oh Brad", I said. "Now you are just being ridiculous."
