[Kipper is King]

Oh, also in that bookstore:

A customer wanted to see some maps of England. I lead him to them.

He then stared at them with a confused, and bewildered look on his face. I asked him if anything was wrong. He then stated "I can't believe I went underwater!". I asked him what he meant, and he explained to me he went on the Chunnel train from London to Paris a couple weeks previously, and that he had no idea the tunnel went under the ocean! He was genuinly surprised that England was not connected by land to the continent! :-O

I left him alone, politely excusing myself, where I walked into the back room and laughed so hard I was crying!
