Checkmate
Overheard at Wizards of the Coast, a store at a local mall specializing in board games. This store is in the throes of going out of business. Everything is 30 to 50 percent off. The conversation took place between a mother and her 10-year-old son:
"Are you really sure you want this chess set?"
"Yes!"
"But it's not a regular chess set."
"But it's the one I want!"
"Are you sure you're going to be happy playing chess with penguins for the rest of your life?"
"YES! This is the set I want! Please go find the guy so we can pay!"
"But you're playing chess with penguins! It's, it's... IT'S JUST NOT NORMAL!"
By this point I was laughing so hard I had to leave. I assume the chess set with the pieces shaped like penguins is now sold.
