The Power of Sophisticates

There was this guy that I would see all the time when I worked at Kmart.  He was always wearing headphones and listening to music.  If you'd ask him a question, he'd ignore you.  He'd never respond to anything you'd say.  In fact, I wondered if this guy could even talk.  Last Sunday I was at work and he came in and I was at the registers.  Low and behold, the first words that I hear him speak in all these years ends up being, "Can I get a Penthouse magazine?"  Pretty amazing.  Then he proceeds to explain that he's looking for anything special edition.  I didn't know that porn could cure the mute.  The draw of the dirty mag was too strong to remain mum.  After spending $20 on mags, he left.  About a half hour later I saw him at the registers again.  Hmm.  Creepy.
