I work in a store that sells a lot of non-precious gems. My manager is talking to an angry customer. The customer storms out in a huff, then walks over to me, looking tired.

Manager: “Can you put a sign up next to the Tiger’s Eyes?”

He points to a bowl of chatoyant gemstones. Their brown to yellow stripes give them their name.

Me: “Saying what?”

Manager: “That these are not real tiger’s eyes and no actual tigers were blinded in the sourcing of these minerals…”

Me: “I’d ask if you’re joking, but I know you’re not.”

Manager: “Thanks.”

Me: “While I’m at it, shall I make a sign saying that the moonstone isn’t stone from the actual moon?”

Manager: “Yeah… at this rate it’s gonna be needed.”
