Conversation of the Day (Take Two)

In the Kwik-E-Mart  Convenience Store downstairs, buying things of a snacky nature:

Man behind counter: Would you like a date?

Me: Um... no, thank you *takes bag of shopping, runs for door*

Mbc: No, no, DATES! *holds up a bag of dates*

Me: Oh! Dates! The answer is still no. Bye!
