Yesterday I went to the local grocery store, and this is how the conversation between the checker and the bagger went:

bagger - "Did you get the coke?"

checker - "No, I'm not cold."

bagger - "I'm sorry you're cold."

checker - "I'm not cold."

bagger - "Do you want my coat?"

checker - "I said I'm not cold."

befuddled customer (me) - "He asked if you got my coke!"

checker - "Coke?"

befuddled customer - "It was the first thing you rang up."

I felt like I was in the middle of an Abbott and Costello routine. Tell me again - who's on first? I think we might be a couple bases shy of a full playing field.
