Calling Habib
I was in a store trying to buy a bib for my baby. It's that piece of cloth attached to the neck for catching food (yeah, just like ties only fatter). Anyway, I couldn't find them, so I asked a store attendant where are the bibs.
The store attendant replied, "Habib is not at work today."
I smilingly answered, "No, the bibs for babies." The store attendant looked at me like I was real slow and said, "Yes, Habib works in the children's department, but isn't attending work today." I insisted, "The bibs, for babies, cloth to absorb baby food if it spills."
Exasperated, the store attendant made a phone call on his cell, spoke a little into it, and handed it to me. The voice on the other side said, "Habib here. How may I help you?" I explained the situation, then handed the phone to the attendant to hear Habib explain it. The attendant showed me to the shelf with bibs and inquired, "Why did you ask for Habib? I could have showed you where these are."
