Just thought of anotherWhen we take the money around to the post office from the pharmacy I work at, there's often a queue and nothing to do but take in the covers of the prominently-placed porn magazines (woo, alliteration).
Anyway, I go into HMV a day or two after this event and pay by card. The pen isn't working when I go to do my signature on the receipt, so the sales assistant passes me one of the porn magazines identical to the ones in the post office and says "here you go, you can lean on, erm..."
Without thinking to skip a beat and look at the magazine, I quick-as-lightning respond "Jenna Jameson", much to the assistant's shock and amusement. I just thank God I was with my brother instead of my girlfriend that day.
