Actual library conversation:

ME: We have [that book you want] in large print, but our copy of the regular version is checked out right now.

CUSTOMER: Large print?

ME: Yes.

CUSTOMER: What's large print?

ME: *is stymied*

CUSTOMER: Is the print, like, large or something?

ME: Uh. Yes.

CUSTOMER: Like, really large?

ME: Well. It depends. It's.... *can't think of anything else to say*

CUSTOMER: Well, can't I see it?

ME: Yes, you can. It's back here. ...In our large print section.

CUSTOMER: There's a section?

ME: *blinks and walks away toward large print books*

[The previous may have been unduly inspired by [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda's recap of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Alas, my life does not lend itself nearly so well to script formatting and/or hysterically funny asides.]
