Erudite Conversations?



Today my sister and I were in a temporary Border's Bookstore in the mall. They had only been there for the Christmas season, so everything was on sale. I overheard this conversation at the register:

SALES CLERK [talking about all the great sales] -- "We had Gray's Anatomy on sale for a dollar."

CUSTOMER -- "Oh, really? I've seen the TV show but never read the books."

And then a little more of my faith in humanity was lost.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. I mean, I guess I did grow up with a copy of Gray's Anatomy on our bookshelf (I'm guessing my mom got it for drawing since she's an artist and not a doctor). But I always thought it was a relatively well-known book...
