Customer: [looking around] “Is this, like, a dominatrix store?”
Carlisle: “Well, BDSM.”
Customer: “What does BDSM mean?”
Carlisle: “It’s short for bondage, domination, and sadomasochism.”
Customer: “Sadomasochism…?”
Me: “A sadist likes to inflict pain, and a masochist likes to experience pain.”
Customer: “Oh, okay! I just saw a movie about that. It was called 8MM.”
Carlisle: [petit mal spit–take]
Me: “Um… that’s… actually about snuff films.”
Customer: “Oh. But it’s all sorta in the same category, right?”
Me: “… No.”
Customer: [nodding] “Fair enough. Fair enough.”
On the bright side, at least he was confused about a decent movie. I can handle a lot of shit, but I am not yet prepared to deal with anyone dazzled by the subtle complexities of 50 Shades Freed.
what about when they make The Notary romance novel into a film? and add shades of 50 shades to “spice it up”?

Oh, come on, now. Sadomasochism is just a hop, skip, and a gutted hooker away from snuff. Basically the same thing.
