"I say Merry Christmas to YOU."
"Merry Christmas!" thundered the familiar hardcore conservative customer as he came into my store this morning.
"Merry Christmas!" I replied.
The conservative nodded. "That's what we say in this country! Merry CHRISTMAS!"
"Oh, I never presume," I replied cheerfully. "I say Merry Christmas to YOU, because I know that YOU celebrate Christmas. But," and I pointed to the customer behind him, "I'm not so sure about THAT guy."
The other customer -- another regular, an older, bearded, hippie-looking fellow -- said, "You are right to be suspicious."
The conservative fled.
