Customers: Up to the Minute

So I'm working, and I'm irritated by one of the innumerable things that can irritate one when working retail, a customer with a loud MIDI ringtone. 'Rule Brittania' in this case.
The guys stands in the doorway shouting into his phone, as cell phoners are wont to do, allowing me more insight into his life than I strictly need.

What kind of man answers his phone "A-1 Talent Agency, how may I help you?"

A mime, of course.

I'm so naive...the white suspenders should have tipped me off.
Then he rubbed it in my face.
Asked me if we had any clown books.

I shouldn't be so judgemental, he's probably a laid off steel worker or Gulf War vet.

But still.
A Mime with 'Rule Brittania' for a ringtone going under 'A-1 Talent Agency'.

Let ye who are without sin cast the first stone.
