Not a Lie

Me: What can I help you with today?

Patron: You know, I used to be able to move things with my mind when I was a child, but I have kind of forgotten. Can you help me find some books that will help teach me again?

Me without even blinking: Oh sure, here is the call number for our books about telekenisis

Patron: "Well, are you LDS?"
Brooke: "I prefer not to answer personal questions"
Patron: "Well, I just need to know if you think I can be forgiven for my sins"
Brooke: (internal galsp) "You know, I just don't feel comfortable advising you on this issue, I would suggest you contact a religious or spiritual leader"
