"Ooh! OOH!" she says, putting her hand up high, Hermoine Granger style!
"I have an answer!"

The other day I was in the chemist and asked them if they had any emery boards, for filing fingernails. I'd looked everywhere, to no avail..

"Yes, I think we have.." said the young assistant, taking me to a revolving stand by the door, which was filled with hairbrushes....

She looked, couldn't find any and then stepped back from the stand and said...

"Oh yes, I remember now. We did *used* to keep them, but they kept getting stolen, so we no longer keep them. We've got a nail *file*, here, we've got lots of those as nobody wants them, so we keep them in stock."

"Huh!?!"

I tried not to let my mouth fall open..and said "So, let me get this straight, you keep the things that don't get stolen, which nobody actually wants in the first place, but you don't keep the things that people *want* because they get stolen?"

"Yes!" she said, smiling, broadly...

"How about moving the stand away from the door, up to the counter? That way you could keep the things that everyone *wants* and they wouldn't get stolen..and, you wouldn't have to fill your stand with things that nobody wants..."

You could see the "Huh?!" bubble forming above her head.....
