last Saturday shopping day before Xmas
First customer:

Do you have any guitar picks?

Yeah, right over here.

How much are they?

Twenty five cents each.

You have anything cheaper?

Nope.

OK. I take one.

Thanks, next?

Glokpee kwaidong?

'Scuse me...?

Glokpee kwaidong?

I'm not sure... Could you point to something?

Glokpee kwaidong bakwtui!

I'm sorry, but I'm all out of glokpee kwaidongs right now. Next?

My violin won't stay in tune, can you help me?

Sure. (I tune it up without any difficulty). Seems to work just fine.

What are those pegs for?

Those are for tuning the violin. You need to adjust them to keep it in tune.

Really? My teacher never told me that.

Next?

Glokpee kwaidong?

I think your wife was here a few minutes ago. She went that way... Next?

You had a new flute in your window for $9.95 about six months ago. I'd like one.

That was a closeout special. It's long gone.

When you get more?

Never. Next?

And so it goes...
